SLO 5: Children and young people

The outcome

Care for children and adolescents, including serious illness, resuscitation and complex needs, with attention to development and safeguarding.

St Emlyn’s summary, not the full official wording. Read the current RCEM SLO and requirements.

What this means in practice

Discuss a paediatric case, adapting assessment and communication to the child and family.

The main resources cover selected paediatric emergencies and safeguarding. The Lyme lesson includes a child case; there is no dedicated paediatric-fever lesson here.

Teaching programmes

Lesson links are St Emlyn’s educational mappings. Their individual clinical-review status still applies; attending a session does not demonstrate curriculum competence.

Apply it in practice

Choose one thing to try on your next suitable shift, within your role and level of supervision. Discuss what happened and what you would change.
