Is there post-exposure prophylaxis for measles?
Feb 09, 2024 Season 2 Episode 2
Red Whale

Grab a cuppa and join us for some free CPD as we have another relaxed round up of recent Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom. This month, Nik and Caroline discuss: 

  • Actively beating the new year blues. How can we build conversations about physical activity into our consultations? 
  • Scabies surge: how do you spot it and manage it? ( And can you get hold of the treatments?!)
  • His head is all squished on one side… does the baby have a non-acute asymmetrical head, or not…?
  • Measles: an update. With a significant measles outbreak in the West Midlands, have you had a chance to read the BRAND NEW UKHSA National Measles Guideline released in January? Don’t worry if you haven’t had time, we summarise them for you.

All of the above questions, and more, will be answered during the episode. Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources. 

And hear about how crossed wires in a consultation lead to red-faced moment!!
