St Bartholomew's Hospital

St Bartholomew's Hospital is a very big and special kind of place where doctors and nurses help people who are not feeling well. These people are called patients and they go to the hospital to get better.

St Bartholomew's Hospital was first built a very long time ago, before you were born, when people used to wear fancy clothes with big hats and horses were used to travel around. The hospital was named after Saint Bartholomew, who was a saint who was very kind and cared for people who were sick.

The hospital is very big and has lots of different parts inside. When you first go there, there is a big space where people can check in and tell the nurses and doctors what is wrong with them. Then, they go to different parts of the hospital depending on what part of their body is not feeling well. Some people might go to the part of the hospital that takes care of their heart, while others might go to the part that helps with their bones or their stomach.

Inside the hospital, there are lots of rooms where people can rest and get better. Some rooms have big beds that can move up and down and help people sit up or lay down. Other rooms might have special machines that make it easier for people to breathe or help their heart beat better.

The doctors and nurses at St Bartholomew's Hospital are very special people who know how to help people get better. They work very hard to make sure that everyone who comes to the hospital leaves feeling better than when they arrived.

Overall, St Bartholomew's Hospital is a very important and special place where people go when they are not feeling well. The doctors and nurses there work very hard to help people feel better and return to their normal lives.
