Here at Don’t Forget The Bubbles, we’re delighted to be collaborating with some incredible prehospital clinicians to bring you posts about providing excellent care to children before they get to hospital. While we work away behind the scenes to curate these posts, we wanted to bring some of our published archive together in our very first prehospital paediatric primer.
First, here are some general prehospital posts to get you started.
