Healthier Together Respiratory Illness in Children and Winter Pressures

Healthier Together | Home (nenc-healthiertogether.nhs.uk)

It’s been a tough year and we are all afraid it’s only going to get tougher. So to ‘expect the best and plan for the worse’ the Heathier Together NENC team are focussing on all that children bring to add to those winter pressures. We aim to help you efficiently assess and manage paediatric respiratory illnesses and more importantly reassure parents and families and provide them with good safety netting & clear guidance on when & where they need to seek care and when they can stay at home.

 

ABC of Winter wonders:

 

Asthma – acute exacerbations & good control

Bronchiolitis & all it brings – when to refer

COVID an update for 2022

Don’t ever forget sepsis & fevers

Fevers – focus on the red flags & safety netting
