Hetty's Hospital is an interactive story to help children prepare for hospital.
Hetty's Hospital is an interactive story to help prepare children for certain procedures in hospital. It contains some little games, also, but is first a story available in English only at the moment.
Hetty has a tummy ache and needs to go to hospital where she will have an ultrasound. This is the story of her visit to the hospital: she will learn all about what happens and even gets to give her stuffed toy an ultrasound.
In this first, full version, Hetty meets new friends: Priya, Charlie, and Freddie. They each need different imaging techniques, including X-Ray, MRI, and CAT scans.
Priya has a chest infection, Charlie has a broken leg, and Freddie has a concussion. We follow them through the hospital while they are looked after and play games to help you understand what might happen to them. You'll also meet Pete the Porter, Nurse Ethel, and other characters in the hospital that will help the children get better.
An exciting and engaging way to help children reduce their anxiety when visiting the hospital.
Learn about: nebulisers, ultrasounds, MRI scanners, and CAT scans.
Games: Wee in a pot, Scan Dino, Fix Charlie's Leg, Catch the Sick, and more!
