Managing paediatric respiratory tract infections – what is the evidence?

Primary care antibiotic prescribing in children aged 0-9 years has increased in recent years compared to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic, with 5.3 million prescriptions for children aged 0 – 14 years in 2022. Much of this prescribing will be driven by consultations for respiratory tract infections and the aim of this webinar is to support clinicians to manage consultations for RTIs in children and young people and consider appropriate strategies for clinical management. This is the first of two webinars on paediatric prescribing in primary care, with the second session focusing on applying guidance to scenarios in general practice.

Active Bystander Training

Witnessing verbal and physical abuse, discrimination, racism and micro-aggression effects everyone! Have you ever been in a situation where you want to challenge someone’s behaviour - but you didn’t know how to do it or what to say? This session has been developed to support ALL members of the Primary Care Team. It includes self-coaching techniques to help you keep a cool head when you’re faced with a challenging situation, and assertive language devices which you can use to make sure your voice is heard if you want to raise a concern. The session focuses on challenging inappropriate workplace behaviours from patients and colleagues and will give you the tools needed to be able to do this confidently.
