Blood test for children
We understand the expectations of children and parents when it comes to blood sampling. That’s why we’ve adapted our blood sampling services for our youngest patients.
You’ll find a range of little details that make all the difference…
Some tests on the youngest children require extra time. To ensure optimal conditions, we recommend that you contact us for further information by telephone on 488 288-1.
How can I prepare my child for a blood test ?
Children ask a lot of questions. Try to explain how the blood test appointment will take place using simple words.
Bring your child’s favourite toy or stuffed animal as a distraction
Your child will be reassured if you stay calm and relaxed as well
You can also apply a local anaesthetising cream or patch to the skin to reduce the pain. Talk about this option with your doctor or pharmacist.
