Tell Monkey Your Story
Have you had to be looked after in a hospital or clinic recently?
You can tell everyone on Care Opinion what it was like. Your story will help other children know what to expect. And it might help the hospital or clinic make things better.
You can say why you needed to be looked after and where you had to go. You can say what you liked and what you did not like!
Please don’t put your real name in your story. Ask a grown up to help if you are not sure.
What will happen to my story?
We will publish it on this site, if we can, so everyone can read it. Then we will tell the hospital or clinic about your story, and they might reply.
Don’t worry: we never share your name or email with anyone.
