Children and young people are affected when someone in the family is ill and need to understand what is happening. You may be a patient yourself, a relative, or a parent of sick children with siblings. We at the hospital will help ensure that children and young people in your family are well cared for.

The patient library in Arendal is located in the basement of the main building. It is self-service and open 24 hours a day. Here you can borrow books and read newspapers and magazines.

Many people wish to bring flowers when visiting a patient in hospital, but due to allergies and the risk of infection, several of our departments are flower-free. We appreciate it if you choose something other than flowers when bringing a gift for the patient.

Some patients are also allergic to perfume or perfumed creams. We ask you to take this into consideration.

Many patients and relatives would like to take photos/videos or blog about their time in hospital. This is of course permitted, as long as you respect the privacy of other patients and staff.

Here are a few useful tips on using social media for patients and relatives:

  • Be considerate of others. You must have consent if you want to take photos or videos of patients or staff. All patients are entitled to privacy while in hospital.
  • Parents/guardians decide whether you may take photos of children or publish photos of their children online. Parents should consider what is best for the child. Once the child is 12 years old, their views must be given significant weight. Once the child is 15 years old, they decide for themselves whether they are happy to be photographed and whether the photos may be published.
  • Remember that staff must also give their permission if you want to publish photos you have taken of them.
  • You should remove content you have published if the person concerned asks you to. If someone has posted photos of you online without permission, you can ask them to delete them. If they do not listen, you can contact: www.slettmeg.no.

Audio recording
It is not illegal to record conversations in which you yourself take part for private use. However, publishing and sharing recordings requires the consent of the person you are speaking with. Secretly recording conversations in which you do not take part is illegal.

Have you worked in healthcare or received healthcare outside the Nordic countries during the past year?

This may include, for example, a hospital stay, extensive outpatient treatment or a visit to the dentist. In that case, your GP must test you for bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics (such as MRSA).

Ask your GP to send you the test results before your appointment with us and bring them with you when you come to the hospital.

Sometimes we need a room for rest and reflection. We have three such rooms available for you and your relatives. The rooms are open to everyone, regardless of their beliefs or faith.

In Arendal, the hospital’s quiet room/chapel is on the basement level of the main building. In Kristiansand, the room is on the first floor of the main building, north entrance. Both rooms are open 24 hours a day. In Flekkefjord, the chapel is by the car park, to the left of the main entrance.

Memorial services can also be held in the chapel following a death. Please contact the hospital chaplains to arrange this.

Eg Church in Kristiansand is open on weekdays from 08:00 to 18:00 for anyone who would like a quiet place for reflection. Open from 10:00 to 18:00 at weekends.

Kiosk
The kiosk is located in the lobby on the 1st floor.

The kiosk sells newspapers, magazines, fruit, chocolate, biscuits, ice cream, soft drinks, cards, flowers, some toiletries and various gifts.

You can also buy buns, chicken wraps, rolls, salads, calzones, paninis and hot dogs.
