In the three years since we launched the Bubble Wrap segment, we have highlighted several key articles in paediatric research.
In this talk from the popular Bubble Wrap Live! sessions, Edward Snelson shares his top five favourite articles from the world of paediatric emergency medicine.
He eloquently confronts his biases and suggests a more critical way of looking at the patient before us.
Here are the five articles Edward chose.

This talk was recorded live at DFTB19 in London, England. The theme of “The Journey” inspired us to consider the journeys our patients and their families take, both metaphorical and literal. DFTB20 will be held in Brisbane, Australia.
