Copies will also be available to pick up at other locations across the borough including local GP practices and libraries.

Dr Wirin Bhatiani, Chair of NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "Summer is an extremely busy and exciting time for families, especially trying to keep the kids entertained throughout the six-week break.

"Most families will have holidays planned and days out on the agenda, especially if the hot weather continues!

"However, to make the most of Summer it's important that we take care of all members of the family so everyone can stay healthy, happy, and well.

"I would urge you to pick up a copy of our Think Summer guide, where you can find useful information on things like childhood illnesses, common summer aliments and practical guidance on what to do in a heatwave and how to protect yourself against sunburn."

There is a guidance on what to do if a child has scarlet fever, slapped cheek syndrome or measles and how you can easily treat some conditions at home, like hay fever, insect bites and upset tummies.

The booklet also has lots of ideas about being more active over the holidays - whatever your age - along with how to keep children safe online.

There's even a reminder to protect yourself and your family against flu, as vaccinations begin in September.

There is a useful directory which includes a number of contacts for local organisations and groups that might be useful to you and your family. Plus, a list of pharmacies that are open in the evenings and weekends if you require any medical advice out-of-hours.

Don't worry, if you can't get hold of a hard copy, Think Summer can be viewed online https://www.boltonccg.nhs.uk/news-events/local-news/think-summer-2019.
