Little Journey

Only option for appointment of procedure was day ward. My child was in patient & follow up appointments so in theory this looked great to help him through the next 6-8 weeks. Reality was a very poor experience & despite selecting his age it’s clearly meant for very little kids. No content of functionality

Love this app. It’s such a great idea; it’s well presented and has lots of relevant info. My little boy loved the hospital walk through, the games and the characters. Makes a hospital visit a little less scary for a little one!

Thank you - my son was recently in hospital and the app helped to make a really smooth transition in and out of the day ward for a small operation. I only wish the hospital (temple street) could have had some of the same characters, even in wall art form, for continuity as he noticed all the butterflies and stickers that were already there so it would’ve given it an extra dimension to see them in the hospital, (considering he asked me if the animals that did the virtual tour would be doing his operation! ) It’s an amazing clever and really easy to use app that should be the way forward for all patients to children’s hospitals. I have a qualification in play therapy and I felt it was a very powerful tool in psychological preparation for hospital. Thanks to the team who devised and made it, From Paula and Ben (age 4)

This app is amazing to help a parent and older children to understand and put your mind at ease with what is going to happen during there visit. However, my 4 year old daughter is autistic and does not understand. It also doesn’t put my mind at ease as I know what is expected of her and it won’t happen! I think there should be articles for about what would happen with children with additional needs. Amazing for children who have the understanding

This app is amazing with supporting not only a child but there parents

Can’t get the app to work, keeps freezing and sending us a white screen. Have tried numerous times. Such a shame as my autistic son could really benefit from this before his procedure.

Fantastic app for putting children’s minds at ease before an operation. Really good idea.

We have used this app on other devices before and it’s great. Now on apple the app doesn’t work, you can go through the adult section but you can not use the child art of the app which is why we got in the first place so my daughter can prepare for her operation in a few days time. Very disappointed

Was totally satisfied with my arrival to the end ward 16 were amazing and the surgeon was fabulous who made us comfortable for the whole procedure

Wonderful app with a lovely friendly way of explaining it to children of all ages (and adults because I found it quite interesting to go through it with my daughter) she’s only three so it was very age-appropriate for her she liked playing the little dress up game and finding Molly mask and Kimmy cannula. I found the doctors voice is very relaxing and calming
