Bronchiolitis
Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of respiratory illness and hospitalisation in infants, particularly during RSV season in Australia. As primary healthcare professionals are often the first point of contact, it is essential to understand the evolving epidemiology, recognise at-risk infants, and apply evidence-based management strategies. This course provides practical guidance on assessing disease severity, distinguishing bronchiolitis from similar conditions, meeting notification requirements, and communicating effectively with parents and carers.
