Parents, carers, and young people can now get easy access to NHS traffic light guidance on a range of childhood illnesses, by downloading the new Frimley Healthier Together app.
It is anticipated that this app can help to reduce the number of patients going to GP surgeries or Accident & Emergency departments with minor (green) ailments by supporting carers with advice when caring for their ill child.
The app shows:
- What amber and red-flag signs to look out for
- Where to seek help if required
- What to do to keep a child comfortable
- How long a child's symptoms are likely to last.
The app also uses push notifications to prompt monitoring of the child’s condition against red and amber symptoms to the phone the app is registered to.
Complementary to the Frimley Healthier Together website, the app can be downloaded from your app store of choice by searching “Healthier Together” https://bit.ly/FHTApp
Help us spread the word about this app by posting on your personal and public profiles – and together we can help manage childhood illnesses more effectively.
