5 January 2012
WellChild, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), and the Neonatal and Paediatric Pharmacists Group (NPPG) are pleased to announce the launch of a new website and expanding information service for parents called Medicines for Children. The website developed to help any parent who has ever been anxious when faced with giving medicine to their child at home. Medicines for Children currently provides online or printed leaflets giving free, practical and reliable information on over 100 key medicines and answering the questions which commonly concern parents, such as how and when to give medicine to their children, what is the right dose and what the possible side effects might be.
All the information is written and reviewed by children’s doctors, pharmacists and parents.
