• Are you frantically googling every symptom every time your child gets ill?
• Unsure when to call the GP, 111 or treat it as an emergency?
• Scared of being alone in the middle of the night with a poorly child and having to make quick decisions or being stuck on hold on the telephone?

This event will help equip you with a huge amount of knowledge and facts so you are more confident in acting quickly when illness is about.  This is for parents, caregivers or those who work with children.
