Childhood Winter Respiratory Illness

Dr Gareth Bryant, Acting CEO for Wessex LMCs, talks with Dr Matthew Dolman, a GP in Somerset who supports the NHS regionally. Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Dr Dolman talks about the increase in RSV presentations in children and how Primary Care can help manage this during the autumn/winter season. Helpful resources to assist both GPs and parents are also discussed. Healthier Together website Bronchiolitis Information NHS England Webinar (see under the pathways and resources folder)
