Vicky Gilroy, iHV’s Head of Projects and Evaluation, talks to Consultant Paediatrician Sanjay Patel who has been instrumental in developing the Healthier Together website and resources to support professionals and families access clear information on common illnesses, including advice on what serious ‘red-flag’ signs to look out for, where to seek help if required, what you should do to keep comfortable, and how long symptoms are likely to last.
We know from both parents and practitioners that recognition of illness in babies with black and brown skin can be hard. In this podcast, Sanjay shares his top tips and guidance, drawn from many years of clinical practice, to support your work. He also highlights the importance of listening to parents and carers and taking their concerns seriously.
