Parents’ Stay Well Guide for Children Aged 0-9
This new guide, the Parents’ Stay Well Guide for Children Aged 0-9 Years, gives you all the information you need to get the right care for the most common health worries for children:
- Fever
- Head injury
- Diarrhoea and vomiting
- Breathing issues
Some simple home-based self-care could save you from hours in a busy GP or hospital waiting room. By saving the guide to the home-screen of your phone/tablet/PC you can get to the right care advice for your child at the right time. We really hope you find this guide useful.
