This week, a University of Otago led study found that autistic pupils are significantly less likely to attend school regularly, particularly at a young age. The researchers of the study had information on 654,438 pupils, of which 8427 were autistic. They found that autistic pupils' regular attendance was 55.3%, compared to 62.5% for non-autistic pupils. They also found that autistic students would experience about 78 fewer school days on average per year compared to their non-autistic peers. Lead author, Dr Nick Bowden, of the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, has said that "it's important to remember that behind the data are real children, whānau, and educators, trying to make it work, often without the tools or support they need". Producer Max spoke with Larah van de Meer, Research and Advocacy Manager at Autism New Zealand, about the recent study by the University of Otago.

Dr Ronny Cheung, Officer for Health Services, joins Alison Firth, Head of Health Policy, and Bruce Warwick, Public Affairs Manager, for a lively discussion on how our landmark report – a blueprint for transforming child health services in England, published last autumn - has helped secure commitments to deliver care equitably for children at a national and local level. Together, they take a close look at what these national commitments over the past six months mean for elective and community services. The trio also reflect on some of the challenges along the way as well as the opportunities to come.   Looking ahead, Ronny, Alison and Bruce consider the next six months for child health services. There's a focus on the Long-Term Workforce Plan and 10 Year Health Plan refresh and how the recommendations in our blueprint have helped focus the College's approach to these major opportunities.   As ever when working in influencing, events often overtake us no matter how hard we plan. As such, it is worth noting that this episode was recorded before the College heard the news that NHS England would be abolished.   In this episode, you'll get a rare insight into how staff and members produce policy and then use this to influence decision makers at a national level.  Download transcript See our blueprint for transforming child health services in England

Episode OverviewIn this episode of Spiral Deeper, our host, Gaby Azorsky, speaks with Keely Semler. Together, they dive into her origin story and path to working in the interdisciplinary field of women's reproductive health, judgement in birth, safety, discernment, being a mentor and teacher, her educational course and podcast - Motherlands, and more. Thank you for joining us on this journey of self-discovery and growth! Here is a little more about Keely: Keely's career began with a deep commitment to service, working with a nonprofit that provided medical devices to vulnerable populations in war-torn regions. In her early twenties, Keely traveled to remote parts of Africa and Asia, where she discovered her true calling: to serve and uplift women in their most transformative moments. Driven by this mission, Keely pursued a Master's in Maternal and Child Health from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. Upon graduation, she joined a Hospitalist Medical Group, but it was clear her heart lay in direct patient care, where she could make a more personal impact. With this newfound clarity, Keely transitioned to offering her expertise as a Doula and Health Educator, initially providing pro bono support to underserved communities in Los Angeles. Over the years, Keely has supported hundreds of families in both hospital and home settings, always with a focus on holistic, compassionate care. During the pandemic, Keely expanded her knowledge by studying Midwifery Care, which further deepened her understanding of family-centered care. As a student midwife, she reimagined the possibilities of women's health and became devoted to educating and empowering women to honor their bodies, autonomy, and unique paths. Keely's teaching philosophy draws from her background in Public Health, Medical Anthropology, and holistic wellness. This integrated approach allows her to support healthy, informed individuals while also tending to the emotional and energetic dimensions of care. She moves beyond clinical frameworks to explore the deeper ceremony of caregiving and how we show up for one another as a personal, collective, and ecological practice. As her work evolved, Keely offers advance training and mentorship, helping to cultivate the next generation of empowered health educators and professionals.Special OfferCODE - SPIRALOFFLOWERS for 20% off your first month in The Flower Portal!EVENTS - 4/19 Tarot at Noto in Los Angeles, 4/23 Flower Portal Cacao Workshop, 5/30-5/31 The Sacred Pause Retreat in Ojai CaliforniaConnect and Work with GabyInspiring the connection between Heaven and Earth through Reiki, Tarot, Folk herbalism, Clairvoyance, and Meditation.

In this episode, we delve into the often-overlooked value of caregiving in a society obsessed with speed and material success. Our guest, Keely Semler, a doula and health educator with a master's in maternal and child health, shares her journey from the nonprofit world to becoming a doula. We discuss the misconceptions about birth, the transformation women experience during pregnancy, and the societal shift away from family values and caregiving. Keely emphasizes the importance of both external resources and internal intuition in navigating the complexities of birth and fertility. Tune in for a profound conversation about the trade-offs women face in modern society and the importance of embracing our innate wisdom.About Keely:Keely's career began with a deep commitment to service, working with a nonprofit that provided medical devices to vulnerable populations in war-torn regions.Driven by this mission, Keely pursued a Master's in Maternal and Child Health from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is very common and can cause disease ranging from mild upper respiratory tract infections to bronchiolitis, pneumonia or even death. In the UK, intensive care wards in the winter are extremely busy and 20,000 to 30,000 children are hospitalised with RSV each year. This is a disease that causes a huge burden in infants both in the UK and globally. Dr Simon Drysdale, a consultant in paediatric infectious disease, joins our hosts Dr Emma Lim and Dr Chisto Tsilifis to discuss the maternal RSV vaccine, which has been rolled out across the UK, plus advances in research and other recently licensed vaccines. RCPCH had a significant role in ensuring the RSV immunisation programme was introduced in the UK following publication of the JCVI's recommendation to develop one. In March 2024, we published an open letter signed by over 2,000 members urging the UK Government to implement a full RSV immunisation programme for both infants and adults across the UK. Our letter generated media coverage and UK parliamentary attention with MPs and Peers supporting our calls. As a result of our campaign, we welcomed announcements from all four UK governments confirming the rollout of new RSV programmes for infant protection from August 2024 in Scotland, and September for Northern Ireland, Wales and England. Dr Simon Drysdale is Consultant Paediatric Infectious Diseases Specialist at Oxford Children's Hospital and a Senior Lecturer in Vaccinology at the University of Oxford.  This podcast is a collaboration between the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and Medisense.

The Terminally Ill Adults End of Life Bill is working its way through Parliament. If it became law in England and Wales it would be one of those moments in history that profoundly changes society. There are similar discussions taking place in Scotland, the Isle of Man and Jersey too. To be clear about what we're doing on Inside Health. We're not going to debate the rights or wrongs of assisted dying. Or go through the politics of the Bill. Instead, over the next few episodes we're going to explore some of the issues that will come up if assisted dying goes ahead. We're going to start with eligibility and who could get an assisted death under the proposed rules?

In this episode of Ask Dr. Tony, Dr. Tony Ebel explains neurological soft signs - the subtle yet critical indicators that show a child's nervous system is beginning to heal, even before major symptoms improve.
