Episode 47: Broken Bones & Orthopaedics
In this episode of Family Health by Mini First Aid, we’re joined by Adelle Fishlock, Consultant Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon at Leeds Children’s Hospital and familiar face from the BBC series Saving Lives in Leeds.
Adelle gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when a child is brought into hospital with a suspected broken bone. From playground falls to complex surgery, she explains how her team works to assess, treat, and support young patients and their families.
Adelle also opens up about her own emotional experience when her young son needed surgery, a powerful moment that reshaped how she supports the families in her care.
We also talk about:
- How to spot the signs of a broken bone
- What to do before you reach medical help
- Where to go: 999, A&E or minor injuries?
- Why vitamin D and warm-ups matter more than you think
Whether you're a parent, carer or health-conscious listener, this is an episode not to miss.
