Healthier Together App
Co-designed by Healthcare Professionals and parents in Wessex, Oxfordshire parents and carers can benefit from this easy to use self-triage tool when they are seeking a healthcare consultation for their child. Parents will be taken through red and amber symptoms or signs for the condition they are concerned about. 70% of children will have no red or amber symptoms and the families will be provided with self-care information as well as safety netting guidance. If children have red features, they will be signposted to their nearest Emergency (A&E) Department or 999. For children with amber features, they will be signposted to their GP practice (or NHS 111 or 111 online out of hours). For GP practices that have onboarded with the app, these parents will be able to send message directly to the practice with information about their child's symptoms and signs. The availability of this functionality is likely to encourage parents to use the app, with the majority being reassured enough to no longer seek a consultation by the information provided within the app. For practices wishing to onboard with the app, click here.
