The Action for Sick Children Helpline was set up 20 years ago. It is a freephone helpline and is manned from Monday to Friday 9.30am-4.30pm. It is available for parents and carers and children and young people to use if you have a problem or query regarding your child's healthcare, from how to register your child with a GP to what to expect when they need to go into hospital. |

| Services Offered: | Children's health services are under review, like all the rest of the NHS and there is no doubt that there will be changes. Help us to monitor these changes by contacting us and letting us know how they are affecting your children. You may rest assured that no names of any contributor or any information that you give wil be personally attributed. Any summaries of this information will be quite without real names. Look at the NICE page to find out how you can have a hand in shaping future NHS services.
Although much of our work is done by volunteering members, every organisation needs financial support. Help to support us by becoming a friend for just £5 per year. You will receive a certificate to show that you are a friend.
If you need help or advice, please ring our helpline number: 0800 0744 519
