Spotting the sick child
This comprehensive interactive educational resource is designed to help health care professionals spot children with serious illness. Children have many minor illnesses as they grow up and it can be hard to tell what is wrong with them. They need a different approach from adults and many health professionals are anxious about assessing children. This educational resource will teach you the basics of how to approach and assess children of all ages.
It is aimed at:
- General practitioners
- Nurses who work in GP surgeries, paediatric wards, and A&E
