October’s edition is joint again this month on account of my right radius being fractured and its being too difficult to type and format text boxes with just my left hand…  I am obviously not quite as good at ice-skating as I thought I was.  All the topics this month should be of interest to both the ED and primary care teams anyway:  a paper on paediatric early warning scores, the start of our neurodevelopment series, an update on services for bereaved children and their families and some useful links on the subject of head-lice.
