Your child’s health

Worried about your child’s health? 

Healthier Together is a website which provides information on common childhood health concerns. 

You will find information about a range of health concerns, all of which have been created by child health specialists, GPs and clinicians in south west London.   

The handy traffic light system allows you to check symptoms and advises you on whether you should seek further medical help. If extra help is needed, the tool will save you time by pointing you towards the most appropriate service to get the best care for your child.   

Healthier Together is designed to support pregnant women and parents and carers of children in south west London. Young people can also use the website to find information on topics such as mental and sexual health.

Health Visiting and Infant Feeding Support Services

Health Visiting 

The health visiting teams work with mothers and fathers, their families and community groups to promote the health and wellbeing of children and reduce inequalities from the antenatal period until your child starts school.

Health visitors are nurses or midwives who have undertaken additional training in community public health nursing. By helping parents learn and develop the skills required to bring up their children, our health visiting teams help give the new generation the best possible start in life.

The website – CLCH Childen’s Health Matters is for parents to find information about the services we provide at Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust in your local area.
