Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- explain the basic causes, recognition and management of neonatal jaundice
- distinguish between physiological and pathological jaundice
- formulate relevant management plans and decide on how to advise parents and refer appropriately
You will be presented with a series of hypothetical cases and asked to consider the best way forward in each instance. All of these cases are based on everyday situations, but have been fictionalised.
