The time allocation for an examination should include time to explain the
procedure not only to the accompanying caregiver, but sometimes also to the child.
Time is well spent in achieving an optimised examination fulfilling the necessary
quality criteria (European Commission, 1996). This procedure can be simplified by
providing information explaining the details of the procedure to be undertaken in
advance of the study. The provision of videos, written material, or websites specifically
designed for children and parents in the waiting area or in the examination
room prior to the studies can be helpful.
