Join Dr. Ruth Bowen as she interviews local specialists from around Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire on a range of topics related to primary care paediatrics -- the non-blanching rash, enuresis, the limping child, infant feeding issues, and more! This podcast is aimed at primary professionals only and does not substitute professional medical advice or consultations. Topics will be discussed with BNSSG primary care in mind, and with references to local referral pathways, but the majority of content covered will be based on national guidelines and applicable nationally.
