Be prepared for half-term
4 February 2026
The NHS is encouraging parents and carers to use the right health services for their children this half-term.
Parents can download the handy guide for five to 11-year-olds, which has useful information about health services, vaccinations, and mental health.
It also has information on medicines to keep at home and common childhood health issues, such as head lice, conjunctivitis, threadworm and strep A.
