🟢 School's in, head lice are out 🟢

Brace yourselves - head lice are making a comeback! If you’ve ever dreaded that “there’s been a case in your child’s class” message, you’re not alone. This week we share Charlotte's first-hand account of battling those persistent little critters (from sneaky eggs to full-blown outbreaks), plus tried-and-tested tips on detection, wet combing, and when to use treatments. Consider this your go-to guide for staying ahead of lice - and keeping your household calm, clean, and scratch-free.

Falls are the most common causes of accidents in the home and account for 44 per cent of all children's accidents. There are around 10 children’s deaths a year as a result of falling, some of these from windows and balconies, some from stairs.

Most falls are due to children tripping over but if a child falls from height, such as out of a cot or pram, the chance of injury is more severe, particularly if a child lands on a hard surface or onto something sharp or hot.

We can’t always stop accidents from happening but we can do our best to ensure our home is as safe for our children as possible and this means being aware of hazards, understanding how best to prevent them and knowing what safety products are worth buying…and which ones aren’t!

You can learn all of this, as well as refresh some of your first aid knowledge around choking and safe weaning, at our babyproofing sessions.

You don’t know what you don’t know!

As parents, we’re used to dental checks and hearing screens, but eye health is often forgotten about.

This National Eye Health Week, we encourage you to book an eye test for your child if they are aged 3-4 years. It's free on the NHS, and the earlier problems are identified, the better the outcome for your child.

What an incredible little girl, so brave and calm when her mummy had a seizure. She knew to call 999 and what information she needed to tell them. Equip your children with knowledge on what to do in an emergency situation, it could save your life! 💚

A three-year-old died from sepsis after a delay in treatment at a "manic" A&E where her mother was told the symptoms were "probably just a virus".

Penny Stevens died at St Richards Hospital in Chichester following a "missed opportunity" to refer her for urgent assessment - despite her displaying tell-tale signs of the life-threatening condition.

University Hospitals Sussex NHS foundation Trust, which runs the hospital, said it was sorry it was not able to prevent Penny’s death.

When someone collapses from cardiac arrest, every second counts. The difference between life and death often lies not in the speed of the ambulance, but in the hands of those nearby. Yet…
