What to do when your child is unwell

New Guide to support parents when their child is unwell

The Mid and South Essex Health and Care Partnership have launched a campaign to promote the new Children’s Health Matters Guide. The guide was developed in partnership with local GPs Dr Sooraj Natarajan and Dr Kate Barusya and co-designed with local parent champions. It is designed to give parents, grandparents and carers across Essex NHS advice at their fingertips, to help look after their children’s health and recognise when they are unwell. The guide is an important tool to empower parents/carers to manage their child’s common illnesses at home and help build resilience in areas of high deprivation in the run up to the winter.

If you are a parent, grandparent or carer of a child under 11 then please download the guide.
