The guidelines are a starting point and not an end point in the management
of common and/or serious paediatric problems. They do not preclude the
appropriate and timely call for help from senior/specialist paediatric
staff within the province. They aim to assist in the development of common
approaches to managing common/serious paediatric problems, and to assist
with the more efficient movement of patients along referral pathways.
Every effort has been made to ensure that suggested management is in line with
current best practice and with the Essential Drugs Lists, and that drug doses
are correct. Individual practitioners remain responsible for ensuring correct
management and drug dosing when caring for their patients.
