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

Children as relatives

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. If you wish to bring the patient a gift, we would appreciate it if you chose something other than flowers.

Some patients are also allergic to perfume or scented creams. Please bear this in mind.

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

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

  • Respect others. You must obtain consent if you want to take photos or videos of patients or staff. All patients have the right 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 has turned 12, their views must be given considerable weight. Once the child has turned 15, they decide for themselves whether they are comfortable being 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 your 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 make recordings of conversations in which you participate, for private use. However, publishing or sharing them requires the consent of the person you are speaking with. Secretly recording conversations in which you do not participate is illegal.

Our hairdresser is located on the third floor of the hospital's main building and is open to everyone. If needed, the hairdresser can come to the department. The hairdresser also fits wigs. Opening hours are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 09.00–16.00.

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

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

Ask your GP to send you the test result before your appointment with us, and bring it 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, you will find the hospital's quiet room/chapel in the basement 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 parking lot to the left of the main entrance.

It is also possible to hold a memorial service in the chapel in the event of a death. Please contact the hospital chaplains to arrange this.

Eg church in Kristiansand is open on weekdays from 08-18 for those who would like a space for quiet and reflection. Open from 10-18 on weekends.

​Kiosk
The kiosk is on the ground floor in the main building's lobby at Eg.

Opening hours:
Monday-Friday: 08.00-20.00
Saturday and Sunday:​ 09.30-20.00

The kiosk sells newspapers, magazines, fruit, chocolate, biscuits, ice cream, soft drinks, flowers, cards and various gift items.

Cafeteria
The "Kilden" cafeteria is located next to the kiosk and has the same opening hours.

The cafeteria serves, among other things, rolls, baguettes, salad, cakes, hamburgers and hot dogs.

If you have a serious illness that requires treatment or follow-up over a period of time, you may be entitled to be assigned a contact doctor in the specialist health service.

The contact doctor scheme in the specialist health service is intended to ensure that your follow-up as a patient is better, safer and more effective. Having a contact doctor is your right as a patient and an obligation for the specialist health service.

The contact doctor's duties

The contact doctor has a particular responsibility for following up with you during treatment or follow-up in the specialist health service. The contact doctor's duties are to:

  • be your regular medical contact throughout your care pathway
  • be involved in your treatment or follow-up
  • stay informed about the status of your treatment
  • help ensure that your care pathway proceeds as planned
  • contact the relevant staff / treatment unit if there are challenges with your care pathway
  • inform you and your next of kin
  • be available to you and healthcare professionals for medical questions
  • A contact doctor does not replace your GP

Guide to contact doctors in the specialist health service

 

We encourage everyone to use their mobile phones considerately and to be mindful of their fellow patients. It is important to put your phone on silent at night, and on silent or vibrate during the day. Out of consideration for other patients, it is a good idea to leave the room if you need to have a long conversation.
