Daughters Blood test experience

"Daughters Blood test experience"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / Paediatrics

(as a parent/guardian),

My 5 year old daughter needed a blood test in clinic 5 at Lincoln County Hospital. She enjoyed the waiting room, despite being nervous. She watched the tv and read a book. 

The nurse who called her in was lovely. My daughter barely knew she was having the blood taken. The props and chair, staff, position they stood in all made my daughter relax and not really be aware of what was happening. 

She loved the book she got to look at (where’s wally) and also the choice of stickers at the end.

Hi Mummylabs

Thank you so very much for sharing your lovely feedback about your daughter's recent blood test. We know that having a blood test can be really scary and we want to make it as quick and painless as possible for every child. As a team, we are all experts at distraction techniques:)

So good to read that she enjoyed Where's Wally and the stickers were a success, we know everyone loves a sticker!

With best wishes

Karen
