CHIC - Child Health Information Classes
Would you like to be more confident managing your children's health at home? Would you like to know more about the symptoms children experience? As local parents ourselves we understand how much conflicting & often confusing health information is out there for families.
Adam is a children’s doctor who has worked in A&Es & paediatric units around London over the last decade, and sees many parents who feel unsure about what's fact or opinion.
Anna is a doula working with new parents, and is constantly amazed at how little information we are given when sent home to look after little humans!
Together we discuss some of the big topics in paediatric medicine, learning through evidence & research why & how things happen in children's bodies. We keep it informative & as jargon free as possible to equip & empower you in a practical way. We'll help you understand what symptoms mean, how to manage them at home and when to seek a medical opinion. If you’re expecting your first, you're a new parent, or have older children - this class is for you!
What we cover:
Fevers - why they happen, when to worry, how to treat
Coughs and colds
Rashes - what is worrying, what looks bad but is fine, and why
Respiratory conditions - asthma, croup, wheeze etc.
Vomiting and sickness - how to manage at home and when to be concerned
Choking, gagging, and what to do
Cuts, bruises, head injuries - how to treat and when to get medical support
Plenty more, with plenty of time for questions and clarifications from a paediatrician!
