Medical day procedures

The Medical Day Unit provides a safe, effective and family-centered environment for children and youth requiring medical treatments, diagnostic tests, procedures, assessments, education, and consultations.
 

What to bring


  • BC CareCard
  • Blue hospital ID card (if your child has one from a previous visit)
  • Immunization records
  • List of any medications, and the amounts, that your child is taking
  • Notepaper and pen
  • Regular medications that your child needs to take during their stay
  • Parents of infants or children with formula requirements need to bring their own supply
  • Some children prefer their own pillows and blankets and a favourite cuddly toy
Parents must stay with their child in the Medical Day Unit. There is a selection of videos, some games and toys. If your stay is going to last several hours, we recommend bringing in your own favourite games, books or hobbies to help pass the time. Keep in mind the reason you are coming to Medical Day Unit (e.g. intravenous procedures, sedation, etc.) in making your choice of things to bring. For example, if your child needs to be calm and still during the procedure, bring calming books to read to them.
 
Snack foods such as juice, yogurts, popsicles, toast, cereals, and some canned products are available, as well as a kettle, toaster and microwave. If you are staying over a meal time or prefer your own snacks, please plan to bring or buy your own food.
 
A portable phone is available for your use, as cellular phones must be turned off while in the hospital.
