GUILD Learning and Development has partnered with Reckitt Benckiser to create a CPD-accredited online course titled 'Managing fever in infants and toddlers'.
The new course examines the aetiology of infant and toddler fever, and reviews the pharmacological and non-pharmacological management options available.
Efficacy and tolerability of paracetamol and ibuprofen in the treatment of paediatric fever are also compared.
Guild Learning and Development said that parents often present to a pharmacy seeking advice on how to manage fever in infants and younger children because of their ready accessibility.
As a result, pharmacists are well placed to provide advice and triage for referral to GPs when necessary.
