Radiology Insights and Clinical Implications

Happy July! This month for the July 2025 episode of the RCEM Learning Podcast Rob covers for Andy and discussed two PEM papers with Dave - looking at the role of parental concern in predicting paediatric critical illness and one looking at clearing the paediatric C-spine with CT imaging alone. Becky and Chris finish up their two part deep dive through a guideline looking at the management of acute behavioural disturbance and we then end with New Online!
