The Big 6
A set of easy-to-understand advice sheets on ‘The Big 6’ childhood illnesses have been created for parents and carers to give guidance on what action to take if a child is ill.
The Big 6 initiative to help parents and carers tackle the most common childhood illnesses has been launched by Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).
The advice sheets feature the most common illnesses in children aged 0-16 and cover:
- Bronchiolitis/Croup
- Fever/Sepsis
- Gastroenteritis
- Head injury
- Wheezy child/Asthma
- Abdominal Pain
