Material Detail

Children remain marginalised in our society. At times, the care they receive seems an afterthought once adults have had their fill. This also shows in the investment made in the training of medical students. Many a general practitioner speak of a feeling of having been inadequately trained to look after children as medical students. They often confess of being frankly terrified when faced with a sick child. As a paediatrician and a teacher, I am, therefore, suitably excited to see the students identify what they see as a potential gap in training tools for those who want to look after children suffering from common ailments competently, and endeavouring to close it.

This manual was put together by students in a format that reflects the way they found works best in learning and assimilating knowledge on how to look after ill children. The selected material prioritises what is essential core knowledge in paediatrics and child health while at the same time forming the foundation on which more knowledge can be built. The involvement of senior experienced colleagues has ensured that the content is reliable and up to date with current practice in paediatrics.
