Recognising the Acutely Unwell Child

The acutely unwell child can deteriorate quickly, and early recognition is the single most important factor in preventing poor outcomes. This webinar focuses on systematic assessment, early warning signs, and the red flags that distinguish self-limiting illness from a true paediatric emergency across different age groups.

Using interactive case scenarios, participants will learn to apply a structured approach to triage, interpret vital signs in context, and initiate appropriate stabilisation measures before referral or transfer. The session emphasises confidence-building for clinicians who do not regularly manage paediatric patients.
