We are all busy professionals with lots to do in a very limited amount of time, so why should we be concerned about climate change? That's nothing to do with paediatricians surely? Dr Katie Knight explains why its everything to do with paediatricians and the number one public health emergency for our patients not just tomorrow but today.

Episode 78: Climate Change and paediatrics

There are so many infant milks and formulae available that it can be confusing to healthcare professionals, let alone parents. Where did they come from, what do they contain and what about specialist prescription-only formulae.

Episode 33: Antibiotic Myth Busting

Let Dr Alasdair Munro guide you through fact and fiction and hopefully provide a little bit of evidence along the way.
