Have you ever taken a child to the Accident & Emergency Dept?

They didn't get upset but they were quite daunted and wary of it all. I'm not sure whether I would ask for a play specialist, because I don't know what the response would be. If I knew it was common pracice, or if I got offered one, then I'd definitely say "yes"!

The NHS report in April 2001 National Service Framework for Children, said that all children in hospital including A&E should have access to a play specialist. I think if more people asked for a play specialist the hospitals would provide more, you never know the hospital you visited might already have one have just not thought to have offered it.
