Mon Jun 20 10:35amGastroenteritis
Thu Jun 16 01:36pmDear Parents / Caregivers
This is a wee note from our Health Nurse Jenna with some great information in regards to gastroenteritis which is doing the rounds through schools and our community at the moment.
Please take the time to have a read if you can.
Many thanks
We have had an increase in gastrointestinal illness in our communities,
This has resulted in an increase of GP visits and a lot which can be managed at home.
I have attached a really good resource from www.healthnavigator.org.nz (free website for all) to help guide parents and caregivers.
Feel free to share on your various platforms to parents and caregivers to enable them to manage illness and hopefully prevent it coming to the schools.
