Sharing this as a reminder that we need to keep monitoring the long-term impact of policies after most people have forgotten and moved on.

For me not about blame but learning and doing better in future.

Excited to be hosting the BPAIIG training days this week in Southampton Children's Hospital!

I’ve been MIA from Twitter for a while. But, I came back to recommend this podcast with Alasdair Munro.

A concise, realistic podcast on FEVER with plenty of clinical pearls and suggested explanations to reassure parents. Excellent!

If you use Twitter you may wonder: why is everyone so extreme in their views?

It turns out that they aren’t, but an overlapping set of intentional and unintentional design choices suppresses the large number of moderate voices & amplifies extremists, with bad consequences for us

Really enjoyed this episode at RCPCH Paeds Round Podcast by Alasdair Munro!

‘Observation is the best investigation for febrile children’ is definitely my take home message from this excellent discussion.
