Child Health app
Parents and carers of under-fives can now find NHS advice at their fingertips to help you look after their children’s health.
The NHS Child Health app gives easy to understand guidance on childhood illnesses, recognising when your child is unwell, and advice on when and where to seek further treatment.
The app, which is also available as a 115-page booklet, has been created by healthcare professionals across the region as part of the North East Urgent and Emergency Care Network.
Why not download the app – it’s free from Google Play or the App Store.
