IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN DURING THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK

COVID-19 is unlikely to make your child seriously unwell, but they like everyone else might be infectious: so it is important to stay at home if they are managing well.

However, all the ‘normal’ illnesses that can make children severely unwell can still occur and there is a risk that parents may delay bringing their child to the attention of a healthcare professionals even if they are unwell because of concerns about COVID-19. GPs and hospitals are still providing safe care as they have always done for children.  If you are not sure if your child is unwell and whether they need to be seen, then visit

https://www.what0-18.nhs.uk/national call 111 or contact your GP. For information about crying babies, visit http://iconcope.org/parentsdvice/

If your child appears severely unwell and advice is not quickly available call 999 or take them to the hospital Emergency Department as you would in other times.
