Children’s health and wellbeing website

A website about children’s health and wellbeing has been created by NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (ICB).

The webpages provide you with consistent and high-quality advice from local health professionals about common childhood illnesses, including advice on what ‘red-flag’ signs to look out for, where to seek help if required and how long your child’s symptoms are likely to last.

Topics covered include:

  • Should my child go to school/nursery today?
  • Cough and cold
  • Fever/high temperature
  • Concerned your newborn/baby/child is unwell
  • My baby is crying all the time
  • Difficulty breathing and wheeze
  • Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccination
  • Strep A and scarlet fever
  • Young people’s mental health
  • Maintaining my child’s emotional wellbeing
  • Healthy living and weight management
  • Romanian community engagement – childhood immunisation and vaccination
