Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Children and Young People
Edinburgh
We want to show families how a thoughtfully designed building, alongside an empathetic team of people, can take the fear and worry from a hospital visit – for both children and their families.
Guided tours will run every half hour from 10am to 3.30pm. Rest assured, we won’t be disturbing any children by taking you to the wards.
Along the way, you’ll discover more about what life is like in hospital for children and families. For families with upcoming planned appointments, procedures or surgery, this is a great opportunity to become more familiar with the hospital environment in a relaxed and welcoming setting, helping children and their parents or carers feel more comfortable ahead of their visit.
You’ll also visit ECHC’s Hub – our welcoming family space at the heart of the hospital – where parents and carers can find a cup of tea, a moment of calm and a listening ear. There’ll be lots of fun, hands-on activities to explore, including LEGO Mars rover STEM activities, badge making, storytelling and our Art Cart.
There will be opportunities to ask questions and to see how our teams bring reassurance, and the extra comfort and support that so many families need.
