The aim is for the children to have fun and take something positive home with them
The children are initially introduced to one of our TeddyDocs either as a small group or individually. This TeddyDoc then accompanies the children with their cuddly toy through a series of stations. It starts at registration and the medical history to get to know the cuddly toy better and then continues through the laboratory, radiology, pharmacy and many other stations until the cuddly toy can be given a diagnosis.
​
All of this is done in a playful environment to make it as fun but also informative and interesting as possible for the children!

Registration
Here we welcome the child and his cuddly companion.

Waiting Room
The waiting area in the teddy bear hospital is slightly different than the one in an actual hospital, because here the children are allowed to paint, have a drink and have a little snack.


Examination
Where can you hear the heartbeat?
Can your Teddy Bear see well? How much does your Teddy Bear weigh?
Can your Teddy Bear hear well?
TeddyDoc and the child get to the bottom of these questions together.

Radiology
What is an x-ray machine?
What does one see with an ultrasound device?
At radiology, the children examine their cuddly patient using an X-ray machine, CT and ultrasound. The first steps of the diagnosis are made here.
Dental Clinic
Your Teddy Bear has toothache?
We have a solution for this too! The dental clinic will explain how to properly brush your teeth and what could be the reason for your cuddly patient's toothache.

ECG
Does the cuddly toy perhaps have heart problems? Maybe even heartache? A lot of cuddling will certainly help!


Red Cross and ambulance
At last, the children are allowed to take a look inside an ambulance that normally only drives past on the road.
When and how do you actually switch on the blue lights?

Bandage station
Did the cuddly toy fall over while playing and scrape itself? Has something even been broken? There are plenty of wound care options at the dressing station so that nothing stands in the way of a speedy recovery!

Pharmacy
The assistant doctor can pick up various medications for the cuddly toy from our in-house pharmacy. This happens after a diagnosis can be made at the many wards. Does the cuddly toy need an ointment, a tea, perhaps fresh fruit or just a lot of love? Everyone will find what they are looking for in the pharmacy!


Surgery
"Dr. O-bear, you are needed in the operating room!"
Here the children assist Dr. O-bear during his operation on the teddy bear. At this station, we focus on relieving fears of surgery.
