Ep46: The First 1000 Days—Congress 2019
This episode was recorded at the 2019 RACP Congress in Auckland. The three speakers dealt with the profound influence that the early years of life have on life-long health, wellbeing, behaviour and socioeconomic outcomes. Together, these speakers demonstrated that the consequences of childhood disadvantage are borne not just by individuals and families but by all of society, and conversely that a community approach must be adopted to ameliorate this. The lectures were framed by the launch of an RACP position statement on early childhood titled “The Importance of the Early Years.”
Ep23: Managing Autism in the ED

Many also have difficulty communicating, and are thus difficult to assess in the emergency department. This episode covers techniques to calm distressed patients with autism and make medical assessments.
