Welcome to Healthier Together – a great place to find accurate and trusted NHS healthcare advice in the North East and North Cumbria.
All the information on the Healthier Together site has been checked by clinicians, to ensure we offer the best advice for parents, carers, young people and health professionals.
You can find everything from pregnancy tips and advice on poorly babies to 'should my child go to school today?' or emotional wellbeing for young people, and we're regularly adding new topics.
