Top 5 papers in General Paediatrics – Bubble Wrap live: Susie Piper at DFTB18

The Bubble Wrap is our monthly roundup of some of the interesting papers that have made it to press. It’s impossible to keep up with every publication that comes out, but at least you might be a little bit wiser.

This talk was recorded live at DFTB18 in Melbourne, Australia. With the theme of ‘Science and Story,’ we pushed our speakers to step out of their comfort zones and consider why we do what we do. Caring for children is not just about acquiring scientific know-how but also about looking beyond a diagnosis or clinical conundrum at the patient and their families.
