We Welcome listeners back to the 12th EPISODE of the BSCOS Paediatric Orthopaedic Digest (POD)cast with special guest Darius Rad of Southampton Childrens Hospital! Heradling from Transylavania in Romania, he trained at Royal London Hospital, Great Ormond Street and Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales before being appointed as a consultant in Southampton where hei s part of a growing team! His favourite poem is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost: “I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference.” We scoured 35 journals & highlighted the most impactful studies that we feel can change practice or improve outcomes in Paediatric Orthopaedics. Also…we play EURO-HOT or EURO-NOT so stay tuned and be educated on 90's European Dance Music!Follow Updates on @BSCOS_UK on X / Instagram!REFERENCES:1.    Autism screening and diagnostic outcomes among toddlers born preterm.

Welcome to the (delayed) 10th & SUMMER BOTOX SPECIAL EPISODE of BSCOS Paediatric Orthopaedic Digest (POD)cast with Caroline Edwards, Head of Childrens Surgery  at Plymouth hospital who started her consultant career at Southampton Childrens Hospital, she set up and developed the neuromuscular service. She proposes a "hub and spoke" model for learning at busy tertiary centres and shared her research on the surgical vulnerability score, a tool to assess the likelihood of early death in patients with neuromuscular disorders. Caroline highlights the challenges faced by young adults transitioning from clinic care for cerebral palsy and suggested district general hospitals could provide dedicated clinics. Listen in to the episode to learn more!   We scoured 35 journals & highlighted the most impactful studies that we feel can change practice or improve outcomes in Paediatric Orthopaedics.  Follow Updates on @BSCOS_UK  REFERENCES: 1.     Skeletal Muscle in Cerebral Palsy: From Belly to Myofibril.
