Sadly, abusive head injury is more common than new diagnoses of diabetes in the ED. They can be easily missed though. Consider it in small babies that aren’t right #PREMIERWessexConf

We will be sharing our experience of this at @PremierWessex conference in a few weeks
@Damian_Roland @EvelinaLondon @PERUKItweep We moved to ‘as required’ salbutamol in sept 2022 in paeds at UHS with no problems. There has been no increase in re attendances. Parent/patient feedback has been positive with a focus more on paying attention to the child and their symptoms. Happy to share our discharge advice.
