Podcasts about paediatrics

This podcast will focus on a paediatric approach to advocacy and assessment pertaining to literacy in school-aged children. After listening to this episode, listeners will be able to (1) define literacy and identify why screening for early childhood literacy is important, (2) identify ways pediatric care providers can screen for literacy, and (3) describe ways in which pediatricians can advocate for literacy development in children. This podcast was created by Doris Goubran, a 3rd year medical student from the University of Manitoba, in collaboration with Dr. Kawamura and Dr. Orsino, Developmental Pediatricians from Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as Dr. Mitchell, a General Pediatrician at the Stollery Children's Hospital.

Which got us thinking about early child daycare .. and whether the endless bugs that often come from there help or hinder kids .. does being exposed to more germs build immunity ahead of school or is that an urban myth parents cling to? Peter McIntyre is a professor in the University of Otago's Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, he's with Jesse for some myth busting.

#322 Constipation in children is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — issues parents bring to a practitioner's door. What if the medication your child has been prescribed isn't actually teaching their bowel how to work? My guest today is Sonya Reynolds, a Sydney-based, degree-qualified Nutritionist and Life Coach with over 17 years of experience. Sonya specialises in gut health, digestive disorders, and paediatric nutrition, with a particular focus on natural epilepsy management, something that stems from her own family's journey after her daughter's epilepsy diagnosis in 2012. Sonya is also the founder of Paediatrics in Practice, a practitioner education summit for those working in children's health. In this episode, we cover the real drivers of childhood constipation, why osmotic laxatives don't teach the bowel to work on their own, and how food, hydration, magnesium, and targeted probiotics can be layered in alongside conventional treatment. In this episode, you'll discover: ✅ The most common causes of constipation in kids, and how it differs from adults ✅ What fecal impaction actually is, and why it can look like diarrhoea ✅ How withholding behaviour develops, and how to support kids through daycare or school toileting anxiety ✅ Sonya's food-first approach by age group, from stewed apples to resistant starch ✅ Why partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG) works well for fussy or sensory-sensitive kids ✅ When to reach for lactulose vs. Macrogol, and how to avoid long-term dependence ✅ The specific probiotic strains Sonya uses clinically, and why ✅ The red flags that mean it's time to refer to a GP for further investigation ✅ Whether there's a "critical window" for shaping a child's long-term gut health Sonya Reynolds is a Sydney-based, degree-qualified Nutritionist and Life Coach with over 17 years of clinical experience, specialising in gut health, digestive disorders, and paediatric nutrition. Her focus on natural epilepsy management stems from her own family's journey — in 2012, her eldest daughter was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of epilepsy, and is now seizure-free and medication-free following dietary and lifestyle intervention.

Paediatric mental health presentations are becoming an increasingly common part of pre-hospital and emergency care. Yet, many paramedics report feeling under-prepared when it comes to recognising and responding to psychological distress in children and adolescents. Unlike physical illness or injury, mental health concerns often present subtly, evolve dynamically, and sit within complex family, social, and developmental contexts.Today's guest, Kristina Maximous, is a dual-registered Paramedic with extensive clinical and academic experience in both Australia and the United Kingdom. She currently serves as a Lecturer in Paramedicine and Academic Resourcing Lead and is completing a PhD focused on paediatric mental health screening and assessment within paramedic-led emergency care. Her research has explored how paramedics make decisions about children and adolescents in psychological distress, and the limitations of current screening tools in dynamic, time-pressured environments. Kristina's work aims to inform more developmentally appropriate, biopsychosocial approaches that support safer, more equitable care for young people. In this episode, we explore the distinction between screening and assessment, unpack the challenges paramedics face on the frontline, and discuss what a more holistic, biopsychosocial model might look like in practice. You can find Kristina's scoping review here: https://science-health.csu.edu.au/schools/nursing-paramedicine-health/research/projects/reframing-paediatric-mental-health-screening-and-assessment

How can we use digital technology to address children's physical and mental health needs and shift from reactive to anticipatory, personalised care? This episode is the first of a series on research and child health and discusses the role of technology in transforming child health. Professor Paul Dimitri, Director of Research and Innovation at Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust and paediatric endocrinology consultant talks with Nish Talawila Da Camara, Head of Research and Evidence. Paul outlines how digital tools, data and artificial intelligence can be used to build a more proactive and humane system for addressing children and young people's health. There are many exciting advancements in the world of digital health technology, from new infrastructure like the incoming National Centre for Child Health Technology to advancements like remote monitoring, digital twins and AI. But we now face new challenges: Paul emphasises the need for child-focused digital standards and safeguarding measures. As children and young people's physical and mental needs are rising, 'the real opportunity isn't the technology itself. It's what we choose to do with it.'

Experts are flagging the dangers of some sleeping devices, after a five-month old's death in 2022. The baby boy was found unresponsive and died after being left in his sleeping pod on his stomach, with blankets around his face. The Coroner says the pods, also called loungers, are unsafe - and recommended more restrictions. Emeritus paediatrics professor Barry Taylor says sleeping pods differ from pepī-pods, made of hard plastic. "If you put your face hard against the hard surface, you've still got spaces in the creases between the nose - so it's not like it's moulded against the face."
