How can paediatricians offer patients with sickle cell disease the best possible care? How do we listen to children and young people, and their families, to help recognise and manage their painful crises?

Emma and the team are joined by Dr Subarna Chakravorty, a consultant haematologist, to discuss the NICE guidelines for sickle cell and thalassemia and the management of pain. The panel discusses how children of different ages experience pain differently and why it's important to consider co-morbidities.

Guest: Dr Subarna Chakravorty, Consultant Haematologist, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Imperial College London. Subarna has a special interest in non-malignant haematology and stem cell transplant for haemoglobinopathy and non-malignant diseases.

Hosts: Dr Emma Lim and Dr Christo Tsilifis

Children's oral health is in a crisis: it's the most common reason for children to visit a hospital and it's not improving as quickly as we need.

Professor Peter Day, paediatric dentist and professor of children's oral health, speaks with us around the stark facts on tooth decay – it affects 10% of three-year-olds and 48% of 15-year-olds – with impact on a child's ability to sleep, eat, talk and go to school, and on the health service – and how community interventions can help. Plus, how supervised tooth brushing can provide economic as well as health benefits.

Professor Peter Day is a Paediatric Dentist (in Leeds and Bradford) and Professor of Children's Oral Health at the University of Leeds with interests and expertise in children's oral health research and dental trauma. He speaks with the podcast host and paediatrician, Dr Emma Lim.
