The Sydney Child Health Program has been working extensively with experts from the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network to develop a COVID-19 education module for GPs and primary healthcare workers in preparation for the transition of care of kids with COVID-19 back into the community.
This module comes at an important time for GPs and primary care professionals who are looking to stay updated with safe practices and strategies to manage children with COVID-19.
The module is available for free here.
