Children and young people make up 25% of consultations in primary care. Amongst the simple and straightforward, there are some complexities and conditions that need careful thought and care. As a GP you are brilliantly placed to support children and young people in every crucial stage of their development, both through the direct care you provide them and the family-centred approaches you take around population health and improving health equity. With the help of an expert group of clinicians, all of whom work in hospital children’s services but with experience of working in partnership with colleagues in primary care, we will equip you to better manage conditions in primary care and to diagnose and treat common childhood illness along with appropriately managing more challenging or complex cases that can come up in children and young people.
All live One Day Essentials conferences (ODEs) are free and available exclusively to RCGP members. Check your diary, register to attend, or if you can’t make it access the content on REWIND. You can catch up on all the recordings and presentation slides for up to nine months afterwards, and you can register at any point during this time.
Note: we endeavour to upload content as quickly as possible after the conference; this typically takes up to two weeks.
Learning objectives:
- Strengthen skills in recognising and diagnosing a broad range of conditions commonly seen in children and young people
- Increase confidence using the latest evidence in treating key common conditions in children and young people
- Broaden skills in working in partnership with local and specialist paediatricians in managing some of the more challenging or complex cases that can come up in children and young people
