Paediatric fever and neutropenia (e-learning module)

This resource has been developed by PICS, Victoria’s Paediatric Integrated Cancer Service. 

As part of our professional development and education resources for health professionals, PICS has developed a series of e-learning modules with input from staff from The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, Monash Children’s Hospital, and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

This module is Paediatric fever and neutropenia. It will help learners to:

• Understand host defences against infection and what happens when defences are overcome
• Understand sepsis recognition and management
• Know the risk factors for serious infection and sepsis
• Understand the management of paediatric fever and neutropenia in the first hour and beyond.

The module is freely available, and hosted on the eviQ Education website.
