Your Child's Health
Your child’s health is of vital importance, as is knowing what services are available to keep them well. Some of your most useful resources for information on childhood illness, health and nutrition will be websites such as the Better Health Channel and The Royal Children’s Hospital.
We have provided information for you on important health areas such as immunisation and school nurses as well as an overview of some of the health issues you and your child may face and links to specialist resources. These include:
- Child Health Record – (often referred to as “The Blue Book”)
- School Nursing – the role school nurses play.
