Following feedback asking for resources to support parents and carers in feeling more confident to provide self-care for unwell babies, children, and young people, alongside knowing when and where to seek further medical help based upon symptoms, NHS Frimley are hosting an online event with local GPs, Dr Alex Streeter de Diego and Dr Sabina Shaik.
Together, they will guide parents, carers, and professionals through the Frimley Healthier Together website and App, demonstrating:
- How to find NHS traffic light guidance on symptoms like fever or cold.
- How to find local support services for children and young people e.g., mental health support.
- Symptoms that mean a child can go about their usual daily routine, and those that mean they should stay home to recover.
- Content within the Healthier Together App, and how to download it.
- Plus, they will be hosting a Q&A session.
Parents, carers and professionals who are working with children and young people are welcome to join.
