The Child in Pain

Pain in children presents unique diagnostic and management challenges. This session will explore the broad differential diagnosis of musculoskeletal pain in the paediatric population, ranging from common benign conditions to serious pathology requiring urgent intervention. Through case-based discussion and expert insights, the session will highlight key clinical features, red flags, and practical approaches to assessment and management.
