Proof of your child health insurance or their medical card
The name, address, and contact details of your child’s doctor (GP)
All the details of any medication your child is currently taking as well as any special equipment that they need for their condition
A list of any questions you may like to ask
For Children Under Two Years Old: Nappies, wipes, soother, bottles, baby formula and any other products your child needs daily.
For Children Over Two Years Old: Clothes for daytime and nighttime. Don’t forget , if you are staying in or near the hospital while your child is with us, you’ll need day and night clothes too.
Toiletries for you and your child, if you are also staying.
Any special toy that your child is used to having all the time
A good book for you and your child. Waiting times in hospital can always vary so it’s a good idea to keep your mind off things by having a great story to read while you’re here.
Do a check list of all the items you would normally bring for a stay away from home. This should help you remember all the essentials.
