Dr. Suzanne Crowe, a pediatric intensivist, discusses her role in intensive care medicine and the impact of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) on the health system. She emphasizes the need for vaccinating babies against RSV how crucial it is to expand the planned programme for this Winter. Dr. Crowe highlights the trauma that babies and their families experience when a baby is hospitalized with RSV and the strain it puts on healthcare resources. She calls for a more holistic approach to healthcare and the prioritization of children's health.TakeawaysAccessible and digestible information on child health issues is crucial for parents and caregivers.Vaccinating babies against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can prevent hospitalizations and reduce the burden on the healthcare system.The hospitalization of babies with RSV has a significant impact on families, including emotional and financial strain.A comprehensive and widespread vaccination program for RSV can help address health inequalities and protect vulnerable populations.A more holistic approach to healthcare, prioritizing children's health, is needed to improve outcomes and reduce healthcare burdens.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Background01:27 Importance of Accessible Information on Child Health04:32 The Impact of RSV on the Healthcare System08:04 The Importance of Vaccinating Babies Against RSV09:09 Challenges in Implementing a Widespread Vaccination Program14:25 Addressing Health Inequalities Through Vaccination Programs27:29 Prioritizing Children's Health in Healthcare SystemsSeason 8 is supported by Salin plus.Have you ever felt concerned about the quality of the air around you?

I wanted to be happy when I saw the headlines... I've campaigned for RSV immunisation a lot over the last year since they were approved by the EMA.I did NOT think I'd have to revisit this topic after I read the finer detail.Unfortunately Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly has launched a half baked plan which will leave hundreds of babies still facing hospitalisation and ICU again this Winter.I don't like to give criticism without being constructive, so in this episode, I speak to Minister Donnelly to try to implore him to see the solutions to any impediments he foresees as an unnecessary challenge. If he is not answerable, then it's worth asking the question...who exactly is?

Have you got really annoying lingering symptoms that are mild enough that you're not 'sick' but annoying enough that you want to tear your hair out?There are many reports in the media of a '22 day head cold' and a '100 day cough' going around.
