Paediatric Guidelines

These guidelines were developed out of a need for step-by-step practical approaches to paediatric problems. They are not directed at particular categories of health worker but are, rather, based on how children with particular health problems should be managed.

Also, they are not so much about making a diagnosis – you spent 6 years at medical school learning about that – but rather about how to look after sick children, or children with long-term ailments.

If you have comments or suggestions for improvement, or ideas for further guidelines, please let us know.
