There needed to be a quick, simple and child-friendly way to communicate this to staff.
Children can feel anxious on the ward.

Benefits
The stickers put children at ease and are bright, colourful and fun. The stickers and the stamps for patients’ notes are a quick, simple and child-friendly way to communicate specific information between staff.
