The booklet uses a traffic light system to help parents and carers decide what action to take when their child is sick. It points parents in the right direction, letting them know whether self-care, consulting with a primary care professional, which could be a pharmacist or general practitioner (GP), a 111 call, or even a visit to Accident and Emergency is the right course of action.
The Little Orange Book is available as a PDF to download.
