Join us for a relaxed round up of this month’s Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom. This month, Nik and Caroline discuss:
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder: one child in every class at school is potentially affected and unsupported. What can we do about this, and why is discussing alcohol in pregnancy a taboo?Varicella zoster (chicken pox) and NSAIDs: why we shouldn’t be recommending ibuprofen for chicken pox or children with shingles, and why a request for it could be considered a red flag…Heat-related illness: identifying those at greatest risk. How to prevent it, spot it and treat it.Measles: might we see an epidemic? Would we spot a case? How can we support and promote MMR vaccination in our specific local populations?
And hear how a wedding day best intention went horribly wrong, knocking things sideways!
Beat the heat: staying safe in hot weather
Effective Approaches to Combat Vaccine Hesitancy
