News from Nurse Jess

Hello all

As we begin to enter the colder months and runny noses and coughs become more prevalent please remember to keep your child home if unwell. I’ve had to send numerous children home who are noticeably under the weather – persistent cough, snotty nose, fever, lethargic etc. Your child needs a day at home on the couch when they are like this just as you would if you were displaying the same symptoms. 

Always struggle to find a reputable online resource to answer any health questions you may have? Nothing beats the professional advice of your GP but sometimes you’re wanting to further your knowledge and understanding on a particular health topic relating to your child. I’ve spoken about Royal Children Hospital fact sheets in the past which are invaluable! But another beneficial website is https://kidshealth.org/ Resources for you and your child! Worth a visit! 

Lastly I now have a work mobile! If you are wanting to speak to me specifically I can be contacted on this number during my work hours of 8:30am-3:30pm Monday to Friday.

Have a lovely week!
