Description This subject is designed to provide students with a systematic approach to assess common emergency presentations in children, including unwell infants, febrile children, and children with breathing difficulties. Students are guided by clinical experts in the provision of emergency care and appropriate referral pathways to maximise patient outcomes, minimise complications and avoid unnecessary hospital presentations. Students will learn to communicate effectively with parents enabling them to detect and manage common clinical situations and prevent adverse outcomes. In this subject, students learn to identify children at risk and appropriately intervene and advocate to ensure safety and protection of these children.
