NHS Symptom Checker

If you’re not sure what condition you have, or how severe it is, you can use the NHS 111 symptom checker. The checker will:

  1. Answer questions about your main symptom.
  2. Help you find out when and where to get help.
  3. Arrange for you to be contacted by a nurse, if needed.

To use the checker, click here: https://111.nhs.uk/

Children's health and wellbeing - NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB

Many illnesses can be treated at home with over-the-counter medication from a pharmacist but in some cases, children may need to see a health professional, if it is serious. 

Healthier Together

The Healthier Together programme relies upon patients and healthcare professionals working together to improve how local healthcare is delivered. The website provides advice for parents, young people and pregnant women, and clinical resources to support healthcare professionals – which means that your child is likely to receive consistently high-quality care, irrespective of which healthcare professional they see.
