The vision of  is that any parent or carer, wherever they are, has information on their child’s medicines that they can trust.
We produce our medical information through a rigorous writing and review process, involving paediatricians, pharmacists and the Medicines for Children project board. A panel of parents and carers from WellChild helps us ensure that our information addresses their key concerns, such as: When and how do I give my child their medicine? What if I forget to give the medicine or give too much? Are there any possible side-effects?
Our leaflets are reviewed and certified each year by NHS England’s Information Standard. This kitemark shows that Medicines for Children is providing reliable healthcare information for the public. The information is referenced in the British National Formulary for Children and NHS Evidence.
Our website
Relaunched in October 2021, has the same quality information as it had before, but with more videos, leaflets and resources for families and health professionals, a better user experience and a fresh look. RCPCH President Dr Camilla Kingdon introduces it in this short video.
