March 18th marks World Young Rheumatic Diseases Day (WORD Day), a day dedicated to raising awareness about rheumatic diseases in children and young people. In this episode of The Registrar Show, Emily sits down with Dr Nicci Gilibert, a Paediatric Registrar at Red Cross Children’s Hospital, to help us understand what rheumatic diseases are, how they affect young patients, and why awareness is so important.
