Child Health Information Classes

Would you like to be more confident managing your children’s health at home? Would you like to know more about the symptoms children experience? As local parents ourselves we understand how much conflicting & often confusing health information is out there for families.

Adam is a children’s doctor who has worked in A&Es & paediatric units around London over the last decade, and sees many parents who feel unsure about what’s fact or opinion.

Anna is a doula working with new parents, and is constantly amazed at how little information we are given when sent home to look after little humans!

Together we discuss some of the big topics in paediatric medicine, learning through evidence & research why & how things happen in children’s bodies. We keep it informative & as jargon free as possible to equip & empower you in a practical way. We’ll help you understand what symptoms mean, how to manage them at home and when to seek a medical opinion. If you’re expecting your first, you’re a new parent, or have older children - this class is for you!

What we cover:

  • Fevers - why they happen, when to worry, how to treat
  • Coughs and colds
  • Rashes - what is worrying, what looks bad but is fine, and why
  • Respiratory conditions - asthma, croup, wheeze etc.
  • Vomiting and sickness - how to manage at home and when to be concerned
  • Choking, gagging, and what to do
  • Cuts, bruises, head injuries - how to treat and when to get medical support
  • Plenty more, with plenty of time for questions and clarifications from a paediatrician!

New dates for this course have not been scheduled yet, but please contact Anna using the form below if you are interested.

📰 What’s the latest in Women's Health News 📰 ⭕ What’s in a Name? ⭕ Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). This change is important as it reclassifies the condition from a reproductive issue to a systemic endocrine and metabolic disorder. The removal of ‘cyst’ reflects an inaccuracy in terminology, as what this actually denotes is arrested ovarian follicles. The inclusion of ‘metabolic’ highlights that this condition can affect the whole body and should be treated as such. ⭕ Cancer Treatment Wins ⭕ The NHS is now offering a new targeted therapy (mirvetuximab soravtansine) for women and people living with ovarian cancer. The drug combines a ‘homing’ antibody with a cancer-killing medicine which attaches to ovarian cancer cells. This means that many living with ovarian cancer won’t have to suffer through chemotherapy. As patient Patricia Hill says, “it’s been incredibly positive… this is the first time that I’ve actually been able to get on with my life.” ⭕ English Caesarean Birth Rates ⭕ A recent report has highlighted that over 40% of births in England are now surgical, one of the highest rates in the world. This is an increase not reflected in other European countries or the USA. The report cites “demographic, health, social and health system changes in England”. However, this has not been accompanied by an improvement in outcomes for babies and maternal deaths have increased. Find out more: Ambia, J., Alderdice, F., Knight, M., Rowe, R., Sanders, J. & Carson, C. (2026). Short report: International comparison of caesarean birth rates, 2020 – 2025. University of Oxford. ⭕ National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce ⭕ The independent investigation by Baroness Amos, which underpins the National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce, is due to release its final report with recommendations later this month. Following this, the Taskforce will publish a new national action plan for maternity care – watch this space.
