How much do you know about strep A infections?
Watch to find out what signs point to a more severe case and when you should seek medical attention for your child.

Today is World Hearing Day 2023 - hearing care is an essential component of universal health coverage. It’s a pleasure to be attending the #2023anhs with delegates in beautiful Hobart #worldhearingday2023

@AlisonBoast 👏 what are you speaking about?

[Dr Natalie Zehnwirth @natmaree]

@EMS_Junkie Variable extrathoracic or intrathoracic upper airway obstruction from a laryngomalacia or tracheomalacia. Does the WOB and noise improve with positioning upright? And is baby feeding well, gaining weight? Agree with seeking Paed review + Paed ENT

You are what you hear you are. There is enormous value in phenotypic description for patients rather than a diagnosis-focused approach, A/Prof Michael McDowell #NBPSA22

Great presentation @nbpsa by Dr Kate Wilkins using data from #VicCHILD @MCRI_for_kids @RCHMelbourne @ccch on how we should screen for early signs of autism in deaf and hard of hearing children

[Suzi Riess @DrSuziRiess]

‘The autistic brain easily creates patterns of behaviour and habits’. Psychologist Helen Appleton of Giant Steps on why self-injurious behaviours continue even after the initial incident (teeth, seizures, constipation etc) is addressed. @nbpsa #NBPSA22 #autism

Forget the Royal Commission into robo-debt: this one is far more pressing. #children #bedtime #glassofmilk

@SandroDemaio Couldn’t agree more. Would love to see the City of Ballarat expedite the administration of flu vaccines for children, sadly seems to be one of the only councils who cannot facilitate it at present
