Paediatrics – know it all?

[shan]

Hey ppl

Paediatrics is a specialist area. There are many things to consider such as:

1. Formulation – is it palatable for the child?
2. Dosing – children cannot be treated as little adults.
3. Compliance
4. Unlicensed medicines often used
5. Children handle drugs differently to adults.
6. A lack of evidence for medicines in children
7. Feeds that need to be given in between
8. Managing medicines at school

Can anyone recommend a good website, textbook, or course they have used to improve their paediatric knowledge…..??

Any other information you would like to share about paediatrics?

Ungrateful wretches.

Wouldn't it be alcopop flavourthese days?

On a more serious note...
The BNF-C might be a good starting point.

Hey Seoighe,

How did your interview go? Well I hope. There is a very useful website you could have a look into…
