CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND RESOURCES
The Orange Book (developed by Healthcare professionals in the North of England)
Parents - this is a fantastic resource if your child is poorly and will help you decide what level of help you may need. It's never a great time of course, so save this link for future reference when you need it. Look for the red flags too - if you think your child needs immediate attention then its 999, not the surgery.
If your child is unwell, and you’re not sure if you need to seek medical help, start with the HANDI App. You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
