We have issued new advice to support young families with common healthcare problems.
Sarah from Chelmsford, is mum to two young children, one of whom she has had to take to A&E with Bronchiolitis, because she didn’t have clear advice and felt a sense of panic. She said:
“These new materials are really clear with a traffic light system - making it easy to know what to do. As parents we often need information from trusted sources to give us the confidence to manage our children...’s health at home. If I’d known what to look for I could have spotted the signs of illness earlier and prevented it getting to the point where my son needed emergency treatment.”
