When and where to seek help when your child is unwell during this Coronavirus pandemic

Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group has produced a leaflet for parents which sets out when and where to seek help when your child is unwell during this Coronavirus pandemic.

You can download the leaflet from the CCG's website here. Its circulation is accompanied by this important message Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group:

"We understand that many parents are incredibly worried about their child catching coronavirus, and are therefore avoiding going to A&E or seeing their GP. However, healthcare professionals across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes have seen a large reduction in the number of children and babies they usually see, and are worried that parents may not be seeking the medical advice they need at the most appropriate time.'

"If you're worried about a child, please seek prompt medical advice as normal. The NHS remains open and is here to look after your child. Our GP practices and A&E departments have stringent infection control processes to keep you and your child safe when visiting."
