NHS Newcastle Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) have created a little orange book with practical information about common childhood conditions. It helps parents and carers to recognise and respond to a range of common illnesses as well as pointing to the most appropriate service if you need further support. The new edition of the Little Orange Book provides up-to-date health advice and new sections including one on Covid-19. It covers everything from common minor ailments like teething, constipation and colds, through to more serious conditions like measles and meningitis.

• Treat yourself at home
• Go to a Primary Care Centre

If you need face to face medical attention you may be asked to attend a Primary Care Centre.
