Comment: | Children First for Health (CFfH) is a child-centred health and hospital resource, supporting teenagers, children and their families. It provides comprehensive and age-appropriate health information from the UK's leading medical experts and paediatricians. This includes health news, features, fact sheets, advice on health matters and hospital life plus young people's own views and stories.
The project grew out of a Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and Institute of Child Health (ICH) pilot project in 2001, which found that many children felt isolated by the lack of age-appropriate and relevant health information when coming into hospital. Based at GOSH, CFfH today receives thousands of hits each month from around the world. What they do is unique because it is driven by children and parents. |
