Abstract

Minor head injuries are more likely to occur in children than adults due to high energy levels and an undeveloped sense of danger. While many head injuries are difficult to prevent, correct assessment and advice can reduce unnecessary attendance at A&E departments. This article is the first in a series to be published in JHV on preventing and treating minor injuries and ailments. It will provide health visitors with advice for parents on dealing with minor injuries and ailments in children in the home, when to attend A&E, and direct readers towards up-to-date guidance and information for both parents and professionals.
