Created by paediatrician and father of three Dr Daniel Golshevsky (Dr Golly), the Family Illness Course is designed to give parents and caregivers practical, trusted guidance for those moments when your child is unwell and you're wondering: Is this normal?

The course brings together 16 chapters and more than 120 lessons covering general sickness, common symptoms, gastrointestinal illness, respiratory illness, viruses and rashes, skin infections, sepsis, eyes and ears, common medical concerns and more.
