NHS toolkit for primary school children

We are encouraging parents and carers to download the NHS toolkit for five to 11-year-olds.

The digital booklet has useful information about where to go for help, advice on common childhood health problems and items to have at home. It also has information about vaccinations and mental health.

Kate Langford, Chief Medical Officer at NHS Kent and Medway, said:

"There are many different bugs around at this time of year, which can cause coughs and colds. In most cases, a cold will clear up in a few days and your child will be safe without the need to see a GP. 

"Medicines, such as children’s paracetamol, can be bought over the counter at supermarkets or a pharmacy. Your local pharmacist will also be able to advise on whether your child’s symptoms are more severe.

"It’s important that people use the right service for them. If anyone’s not sure, they can contact NHS 111 online or by phone, or visit Stop Think Choose"
