Inpatient stay

If your child is being admitted for an operation or procedure and will stay overnight at the hospital, you should first go to the Admitting Office near the main entrance to sign forms for admission and consent for treatment and tests.

The admitting staff will verify your contact information and give you an identification bracelet for your child to wear while in hospital. Once the admission process is complete, you can bring your child to the ward where you will meet your nurse and other members of the healthcare team.

Children who are admitted because of an emergency and are not expected to stay more than 36 hours may be sent to the Short Stay Unit, located near the Emergency department.
