Top 5 papers in PEM – Bubble Wrap live: Arj Rao at DFTB18

The Bubble Wrap is our monthly round up of some of the interesting papers that have made it to press. It’s impossible to keep up to date 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 the scientific knowhow but also about taking a look beyond a diagnosis or clinical conundrum at the patient and their families.
