HANDi Paediatrics

HANDi Paediatrics is a specialized Chrome extension developed by the paediatric team at Musgrove Park Hospital. It offers trusted, UK NHS-based guidance for the most common childhood illnesses such as diarrhoea, chesty child conditions like asthma, bronchiolitis, high temperature, abdominal pain, and common newborn problems.

Designed for both parents/carers and healthcare professionals, HANDi provides illness-specific home assessment guidelines, local healthcare signposting, and detailed illness information. Using an easy-to-understand traffic light assessment system, healthcare providers can make informed decisions about care and referrals, ensuring consistent advice and support across different healthcare settings. Parents and carers also benefit from Home Care Plans that empower them to deliver the best care to their children at home.
