Paediatric Assessment Workshop

Posted Friday 27 December 2024 | The Benchmarque Group

The importance of the first 2,000 days and how primary care nurses can shape the future of health.

Paediatric health and physical assessment are fundamental aspects of care that focus on assessing the wellbeing and development of children from infancy through adolescence.

Conducting a thorough and accurate assessment is crucial in identifying any deviations from normal growth and development, detecting potential health issues, and providing early intervention to promote optimal outcomes.

The program delivered by Benchmarque Group is focussed on:

• How to have an appropriate conversation with the parent or caregiver
• Undertaking a quality, comprehensive health check
• Assessment of the unwell child
• Assessment of the well child and developmental assessment
• Escalation and planning 
• Support networks for mothers and providers
• Health pathways

The program is delivered as a one-day in-person workshop delivered by a team of expert facilitators. The program includes both knowledge and skills.
The learning will be aligned with the principles of the Children’s Health Queensland guidelines and align with the recommended checks included within the child’s Red Book (personal health record).
