Description
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 Measles on black and brown skin website We'd love to hear your feedback by email - [email protected] or leave us a voice message - Send a voice message to RedWhalePrimaryCarePod (speakpipe.com) If you don't already receive our weekly Pearls email then you can sign up to these here Follow us on: Twitter Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Disclaimer We make every effort to ensure the information in this podcast is accurate and/ correct at the date of publication, but it is of necessity of a brief and general nature, and this should not replace your own good clinical judgement, or be regarded as a substitute for taking professional advice in appropriate circumstances.
