Children and young people are affected when someone in the family is ill and needs to understand what is happening. It may be that you yourself are a patient, a caregiver, or that you are a parent of sick children with siblings. We at the hospital will contribute to ensuring that children and young people in your family are well cared for.

Children as caregivers

Many people want to send a floral greeting when visiting a patient at the hospital, but due to allergies and the risk of infection, several of our departments are flower-free. We appreciate it if you who want to bring a gift to the patient choose something other than flowers.

Some patients also react allergically to perfume or creams containing perfume. We ask that this be taken into consideration.

Many patients and relatives want to take photos/videos or blog about their time at the hospital. Of course, you are welcome to do so, as long as you respect the privacy of others and staff.

Here are a couple of good tips for using social media for you as a patient or relative:

  • Respect others. You must have consent if you want to take pictures or videos of patients or staff. All patients have the right to privacy when they are at the hospital.
  • Parents/guardians decide whether you can take pictures of children or publish pictures of their children online. Parents should consider what is best for the child. When the child is 12 years old, great weight should be placed on what the child thinks. When the child is 15 years old, they decide for themselves whether it is okay to be photographed and whether they should be published.
  • Remember that staff must also give their permission if you want to publish pictures you have taken of them.
  • You should remove content you have published if the person involved asks you to. If someone has posted pictures of you online without permission, you can ask them to delete it. If you are not heard, you can contact: www.slettmeg.no.

Sound recordings
It is not illegal to make recordings of conversations you participate in for private use. Publishing and sharing, however, requires consent from the person you are talking to. Secret recordings of conversations you do not participate in are illegal.

Have you worked in the healthcare sector or received healthcare outside of Scandinavia during the last year?

For example, this could be an inpatient stay at a hospital, extensive outpatient treatment, or a visit to the dentist. Then your family doctor must test you for bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics (such as MRSA).

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

We encourage everyone to use mobile etiquette and to respect their fellow patients. It is important to put your phone on silent at night and on mute or vibrate during the day. Out of consideration for other patients, it is advisable to leave the room if you need to have a longer conversation.

Talk to children about illness in the family

Children are affected when someone in the family has health challenges. When the family talks about the illness, injury, or addiction, it is easier for children and young people to cope with what is happening.
Children need openness
