This event for General Practitioners (GPs) and Primary Care teams is designed to provide a comprehensive update the Newborn Examination including any recent updates. It covers rare and common congenital abnormalities, red flags and the implications and appropriate referral pathways for further assessment and treatment. You will also learn about neonatal screening programmes and the future prospects in this area. By the end of this session, GPs and Primary Care teams will be equipped with updated knowledge and practical skills to effectively manage and support infants and their families, contributing to better long-term outcomes for these children.
