Recently saw a 'questionnaire' (= v. open space prompt sheet) to give YP in waiting rooms to find out what they would like to discuss. Does anyone know where I saw this? Does anyone use similar? Would love to see examples. Thanks! YPHSIG AYPH charity Me first RCPCH_and_Us

Most important observation of the week: smoothies do not seem to be a popular stockpiling choice. Full range of brands and flavours available in every supermarket I’ve visited

Great way those at home on maternity leave or extended self isolation might be able to help...

Hearing Biba Stanton make the case for referring to ‘Functional neurological symptom disorder’ rather than ‘medically unexplained symptoms’. And to remember that our feelings about this area impacts on how patients experience their interactions with us.

Consider other diagnoses in patients with PCOS - in particular rule out CAH.

Another pearl of wisdom from Dr Hoong-Wei Gan speaking for YPHSIG

Emma Parish @doctornajette

Ever wanted to know how to assess puberty without examining the young person?

Really useful slide from Dr Hoong-Wei Gan at YPHSIG Adolescent Trainee Forum.
