Abstract:
The abstract highlights the crucial need for junior paediatricians to attain proficiency in managing paediatric emergencies, particularly DKA. Literature review indicates extensive studies on DKA knowledge among healthcare professionals, spanning various cultures and specialties. Common challenges like inadequate standardized protocols and training emerge across centres. The research proposal aims to thematically analyse UK paediatric trainees' DKA management competence across clinical settings. The objective is to evaluate their proficiency level and propose strategies to enhance DKA training effectively.
Audience Take Away
- The audience will gain a broad comprehension of the proficiency of junior doctors in handling pediatric DKA in the UK
- The practical solutions proposed in this paper for junior doctors in the UK can be applied in other regions to enhance the overall approach to managing emergency pediatric endocrinological cases
- This approach can be mirrored in other healthcare settings where junior practitioners are required to meet specific standards in patient management, showcasing a commitment to delivering high-quality care
