Healthier Together is a website to support local parents and carers to help them manage a range of common childhood illnesses. The site provides information to help parents/carers recognise what might be wrong, what to do to help their children whilst at home, and where to go for more help if they do need to see a healthcare professional. In most cases, childhood illnesses can be managed at home with over-the counter medication and rest.
