Leicester's Marvellous Medicine Talk - Understanding children through caregiver insight

Parents and caregivers often notice the small changes in their child long before anyone else. From sensing when a child is seriously unwell to concerns around vaccines and medical advice, their instincts can be surprisingly powerful — but are they always right?

In this engaging talk, Professor Damian Roland explores what research tells us about parental intuition, when it can be trusted, and when it can sometimes be misleading. Drawing on real-world examples and clinical experience, he examines how healthcare professionals and families can work together to better understand and support children’s health.
