How to Stay Healthy and Well This Summer
A new free downloadable 12 page health and wellbeing booklet to share with families of children 0-5 years.
Summer is the perfect time for family fun, sunshine, and making memories. You can help your summer run smoothly by getting to know where to go in case of injury or illness, so you can get the help you need more quickly. Because accidents happen and little ones will always pick up bugs!
To find the right service for your needs, go to the ‘Get To Know Where To Go’ page on the NHS Greater Manchester website.
Parents and carers with children and babies under 5 can download the brand-new leaflet from the NHS Greater Manchester website for advice and tips on how to manage childhood illnesses – from the comfort of your own home.
