Play to prepare my child for a CT Scan

This video shows how you could talk to your child about having a CT scan (Computed Tomography). Mum and Sophie are having fun playing pretend hospital. They talk about how you have to lie very still on a bed and how long it will take to have a scan. This video with pretend hospital play is aimed at younger children and those at an early stage of development. This video was developed in partnership with the play specialists team of the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow.
