University Hospital Waterford launches Little Journey App for children and families.

Paediatric and Theatre Department Nurse Specialists in University Hospital Waterford (UHW) have been working with a company called Little Journey (UK) to develop a platform for children. The App enables children and their families to view the hospital environment the child will spend time in, whilst having elective (planned) surgery or pre booked tests.

The free web platform is App based, so that parents and guardians can download “Little Journey” and it will give a virtual tour of the Paediatric ward and the Theatre environment at UHW.

The staff involved hosted a “pop-up” promotion and information stand in the main foyer of UHW Monday 26^th May.

Well Done to all the team involved in this amazing "Little Journey" App for children and families.
