At the RHCYP, we care for our patients – and their whole families. Having a child in the hospital can be a worrying time for everyone, and there are many types of family support available. NHS Lothian, Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity and other partners such as the City of Edinburgh Council’s Social Work department work together to give parents, carers, families and siblings a range of practical and emotional support. From benefits advice, financial support and accommodation, to pastoral and spiritual care, youth work or art therapy, there are many wonderful services available to our patients and their families.
