Is this child’s rash an infectious disease, or something else? It can be hard for GPs to tell. Infectious conditions affecting children are the topic of this Clinical Update podcast, with our presenters, the MIMS Learning editors, passing on expert clinicians’ tips on diagnosing paediatric pertussis, measles, skin rashes, and scarlet fever. They also discuss the MIMS Learning campaign on health inequalities.

After listening to this module, healthcare professionals should be more aware of signs and symptoms of common conditions, and of how to manage contacts and cases.

You can access the website version of this podcast on MIMS Learning to make notes for your appraisal. MIMS Learning offers hundreds of hours of CPD for healthcare professionals, along with a handy CPD organiser.

Please note: this podcast is presented by medical editors and discusses educational content written or presented by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals on the MIMS Learning website and at live events.
