Goodfellow Unit Webinar: Don't miss that ARF diagnosis

Much work has been done over the last 20 years to improve the awareness of Acute Rheumatic Fever, its natural history and its sequelae.

Although there have been improvements in outcomes, these improvements have not been enough to prevent 80+ children and young adults ending up with serious cardiac valve damage. They end up in Starship for valve replacement surgery.

There is a fairly constant rate of missed diagnoses even when parents have taken the patient to see their doctor several times. We can fix this.

This presentation describes an approach that all primary care doctors and practice nurses can follow to ensure the rate of missed diagnoses approaches zero.
