PARENTS commonly present to a pharmacy seeking advice on how to manage fever in infants and younger children.
Because of their accessibility, pharmacists are ideally placed to provide treatment options for fever in children, as well as identifying when referral to a general practitioner is necessary.
Guild Learning and Development is partnering with RB in the development of a CPD-accredited online course titled Managing fever in infants and toddlers.
This course examines infant and toddler fever, and reviews the pharmacological and non-pharmacological management options available.
The course also compares the efficacy and tolerability of paracetamol and ibuprofen in the treatment of paediatric fever.
To enrol in this course please visit www.myCPD.org.au.
