Paediatric assessment, consultation and virtual emergency care
Manage episode 485362329 series 3274429
James Oswald and Dr David Anderson explore how consultation has evolved from a perceived weakness to a hallmark of clinical maturity. They discuss the growing role of virtual emergency care, particularly the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED), in supporting paramedics with decision-making—especially when assessing young infants. Joined by pediatric emergency specialist Dr Harith Al-Rawi, the episode dives into the challenges of remote pediatric assessment, the value of collaboration between paramedics and virtual care clinicians, and the structured information required during remote consultation to safely support care at home. The conversation highlights that newborns are a uniquely high-risk group, and outlines why VVED consultation is now a must for infants aged 28 days or younger.
