Updated version of 'Spotting the Sick Child'

17 May 2012

An updated version of an online educational tool to help healthcare professionals in the assessment of the acutely sick child has been launched.

The new interactive version of Spotting the Sick Child now includes the presentation of swine flu.

The learning resource is entirely online and features over 5 hours of new video footage of real patients and is aimed at emergency department staff, paediatric doctors and nurses in training, general practitioners, FY doctors and medical students.

GPs and nurses can access the service free of charge until March 2010. After that, a small registration fee will be charged to ensure further improvements.
