This accessible cartoon-style animation is for children aged 6-10 who need to have heart surgery. It tells you all about what happens when you go to hospital, who you will meet and how you might feel. It follows the character of Sammy on his journey before the operation including tests before the operation, the day of the operation and recovery in hospital.
Sammy's Heart Operation Animation was created pre-Covid-19. For information on Covid-19 measures in place at your hospital please contact your specialist team.
Different UK hospitals will have their own timings and procedures which means your experience may differ from Sammy's story. If you want to talk about anything in this video or have any questions, ask to speak to a member of your specialist team.
