Episode 69: Safety netting in the ED

Dragon Bytes Basics - This subseries is aimed at teaching some basic paediatric concepts to healthcare students. Each week medical students from Wales will be joined by a paediatric doctor to discuss common paediatric conditions. These episodes are just introductions and aren’t meant to replace standard revision – remember there will be some regional variations in practice and practice will change as new evidence comes to light. However, this is paediatrics made easy to help listeners get their heads around some thing new.

This week's episode is about leukaemia. Dragon Bytes Basics host, and Cardiff University medical student, Georgia Parry, talks to Dr Blanche Lumb, a paediatric registrar in Wales.
