#WILTM 🧵No. 2 and a focus on child abuse and a child's experience in hospital.
'A child has gone for a skeletal survey' Child protection is one of the most upsetting and important aspects of paediatrics. According to the @NCMD_England 60 children died of 'deliberately inflicted injury, abuse or neglect' last year.

Every week @ESHTNHS the paediatric dept have a grand round when the consultant of the week 🐄 hand over. It’s multidisciplinary and an opportunity to get colleagues advice on complex cases and how me manage common paediatric conditions
The paediatric consultants have got over 100 years of paediatric experience between them😬. I learn something every week - often from the nurses.
