Paediatric Assessment & Recognition of Deterioration in Children

Australian College of Nursing is pleased to present this face-to-face workshop which will equip participants with the foundational knowledge required to recognise normal growth and development in children and apply this to a systematic physical assessment. Paediatric Red Flags will be highlighted, and systems for early recognition of deterioration will also be covered. A case vignette will be used to challenge clinical decision-making skills in the diagnosis and management of a critically unstable paediatric patient, using evidence to support decisions and exploring relevant clinical practice guidelines.
