Neonatal Jaundice course for GPs
A case-based approach to the recognition and management of neonatal jaundice.
This session was reviewed by Khyati Bakhai and last updated in October 2021.
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.
