D&V, or gastroenteritis, can usually be managed safely at home by parents with appropriate advice and safety netting.

With reference to Healthier Together pathways and parent information leaflets www.what0-18.nhs.uk Thanks Phil. Please go to iTunes to rate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and review. Any feedback, please email me at
