Recent Advances In Paediatrics 29

Recent Advances in Paediatrics-29 features an outstanding collection of articles relevant to paediatricians and health professionals working with children and adolescents across the world.
This book reflects the changing landscape in paediatrics, with a significant emphasis on adolescent health, both physical and mental, as well as the role of technology in improving outcomes.
Other topics include prenatal screening and diagnosis of genetic defects, advances in neonatal care, a systematic approach towards orthopaedic management of cerebral palsy, bone health and osteoporosis, as well as advances in surgery and urology.
We have included an emphasis on “safer care for sick children” with the role of safety checklists and escalation of care using hub and spoke models. Implementing safety checklists universally for procedures will mean doctors and nurses moving across hospitals (or even continents) can provide the same high standards of care.
The book will undoubtedly be a compelling read for medical students as it covers aspects of paediatrics often not covered in conventional textbooks and may inspire them to choose a career in “paediatrics”.
Finally, some aspects of this book including the section on adolescent health, technology as well as improving safety will be relevant to parents, whose expertise in their own children is always one of the most valuable resources for paediatricians!
