20 Sydney Children’s Hospitals NetworkDr Charlene Kembo GP Fellow QLD, Australia (Previously studied in Harare, Zimbabwe) The lectures were and continue to be up to date, relevant and practical. I have been hooked to SCHP since! What is exciting is being able to use and adapt the knowledge to our local context, refine patient care plans and while teaching realise that I am also learning! As a Mom of one energetic toddler, I now appreciate why parent education is such a vital part of managing children.

This course was a fantastic opportunity to complement my learning
about the management of various paediatric conditions. I was able
to practice hands on paediatric resuscitation skills during the course
provided this year.
It was interesting to learn about a variety of paediatric conditions by
going through a variety of cases while attending several GP education
days, the 3-day conference and the workshops. The information and
practical scenarios helped me manage common conditions and critical
emergency paediatric scenarios during my rotations at the Queensland’s
Children’s Hospital.
