Parent Venepuncture Information Leaflet
Dr Meicro – Your own virtual assistant
We know that sometimes having an injection or blood test can be worrying. You might have lots of questions, thoughts and feelings about your appointment.
Dr Meicro is a new chatbot developed by ABUHB Paediatric Psychology Service, available day and night to provide information and resources to children, young people and their families about blood tests and injections. Dr Meicro can help them to begin to build their coping toolkit.
Why not ask Dr Meicro a question? You might want your parent to have a look with you, or you might be happy to use it by yourself. Scan this QR code with your smartphone camera, or type the URL into your browser, and click on the blue chat bubble icon in the bottom right corner.
If your child is nervous around needles, you could let your doctor/phlebotomist know and they will be able to help you and your child.
We have also developed a leaflet with some ideas on how to help your child if they have a fear of needles. Scan this QR code with your smartphone camera, or type the URL into your browser to access it.
