Oxfordshire Healthier Together

 

The Oxfordshire Healthier Together website provides expert advice from local healthcare professionals for parents and carers when their child is unwell.

 

With a user-friendly traffic light system, parents can find clear information on common childhood illnesses, including what symptoms to look out for, what they should do, and when and where to seek help if required.The website features a translation tool, a directory of local services to support family health and wellbeing, and advice on whether a child should go to school when they have a virus or infection.

 

Parents can also download the Healthier Together app if their child is unwell, to get advice at their fingertips. Using a red, amber, green self-assessment of symptoms, parents are directed to the appropriate setting at the right time. Search for ‘Healthier Together’ in the App Store or Google Play.

 

Please signpost parents and carers to the website and app so they can benefit from these useful resources.
