Healthier Together - Improving the quality of care for children and young people
It can be extremely stressful when your child is unwell. There is a lot of information available online, but it is not always easy to find clear, accurate and local information.
Healthier Together
The Aneurin Bevan Healthier Together website has been developed in partnership between parents and healthcare professionals.
The resources are based on pioneering work by Wessex Health Care Trust and provide clear information about common childhood illnesses.
What information is available?
The Healthier Together website includes advice about:
- Common childhood illnesses
- Red flag signs to look out for
- Where to seek help if needed
- What you can do to help keep your child comfortable
- How long your child’s symptoms are likely to last
Why this is helpful
The resources are used by both parents and healthcare professionals. This means your child is more likely to receive consistent, high-quality advice, whichever healthcare provider you contact.
Consistent advice can help reduce unnecessary variation in care and may also help reduce the anxiety caused by receiving different advice from different sources.
