Give your loved ones the best possible start
Bonitas offers a range of benefits to help keep your children healthy . These include cover for visiting the paediatrician , taking your child to the doctor and telephonic advice .
Babyline strives to give parents access to the best possible resources to improve the health of each child . This is a service that aims to give parents peace of mind and potentially save unnecessary trips to the ER as well as provide anxious parents with urgent healthcare advice to keep their children safe and happy .
Parents or caregivers can simply call 0860 999 121 and they will be put through to a paediatric trained registered nurse , who will ask a series of questions depending on the concern raised by the parent / caregiver . Please have your Bonitas membership number on hand . Thereafter , the parent / caregiver will be given professional advice on what to do next and whether the symptoms are urgent enough to visit the ER or maybe their doctor or specialist . If necessary , the nurse will advise who is the most appropriate healthcare provider to see the child .
Please note :
Babyline is a general paediatric health advice service and does not provide a diagnosis or prescription .
Make sure you have your Bonitas membership number available when you call .
