There are so many infant milks and formulae available that it can be confusing to healthcare professionals, let alone parents. Where did they come from, what do they contain and what about specialist prescription-only formulae. Host Dr Ashley Reece takes a deep dive into all these issues with our special guest Bahee Van de Bor - dietician and spokesperson of the British Dietetic Association.

We are all busy professionals with lots to do in a very limited amount of time, so why should we be concerned about climate change? That's nothing to do with paediatricians surely? Dr Katie Knight explains why its everything to do with paediatricians and the number one public health emergency for our patients not just tomorrow but today.

We are joined by Dr Lucie Etheridge and Julia Avery to discuss their recent article in the October 2021 edition of 'Archives of Disease in Childhood' looking at whether magnesium supplementation is helpful in adolescents with migraine.

We are really proud to introduce another episode from our Advanced Practitioner team, this time from the ANNPs. Rhian Smith, Becky Joyce and Dr Vicky Payne discuss the past, present and future of Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioners in the UK.

In this week's pod we chat to Dr Katie McKinnon about the value of limiting screen time in children with concussion. Dr McKinnon is the lead author of an article in this July's edition of ADC that looked at whether the advice we often give about limiting screen time in concussion has any basis in evidence.

In this week's episode we talk to Jessica Talbot and Lucy Brown who are both specialist registrars in paediatric dentistry. What should you do about an avulsed tooth, is tooth decay as big a problem in the UK as we think it is, and how can dentistry help in child protection? I also learn why you should never rinse after brushing...

All paediatricians are lovely cuddly people, right? Well sadly the data suggests rudeness, incivility and unprofessional behaviour remain prevalent in the health workplace. In this episode Dr Ashley Reece, Consultant Paediatrician from West Hertfordshire Hospital, talks to Dr Anna Baverstock, Consultant Paediatrician from Musgrove Park Hospital in Somerset, about when rudeness can occur in our working lives and what can be done to address it.

In the third in our series of ACP podcast specials, Emma Hudson, Chris White and Laura Lee, Advanced Practitioners in Derby, Nottingham and Norfolk and Norwich Children's Emergency Departments discuss their roles and the unique set of skills that ACPs bring to the ED.
