New Guideline: Fever in Children (UK)

NICE has updated the traffic light system for predicting the risk of serious illness from fever in children under 5, and issued new advice on the use of paracetamol and ibuprofen.
A baseline assessment tool, clinical case scenarios, costing statement, a slide set, and electronic audit tools are available to help put this guideline into practice. A spotting the sick child online learning resource is also available, as well as an educational resource on the traffic light table.
