Archimedes April 2022: Quality babes

Croaking and wheezing and slightly exhausted … not the average neonatologist but Archimedes this month .. brought to you from post-natal palaces and post-nasal drip. We start thinking about how best to communicate a post-natal diagnosis of Down syndrome(https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/4/409.1), which is prefaced by some thoughts on what it means to undertake a ‘good’ qualitative study(https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/4/409.2). We’ve more on this on our blog site, in this series: We then dive down from the wards into the NICU where we wonder how to shift the clogged secretions of a grot-filled lung, and someone suggests DNAse, which sounds a lot like magic, but magic which can be evidence based(https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/4/411) When you’ve had a listen tell us what you think, and submit your own following the instructions on the website and you too could be hearing all about yourself croaked Archi or in active conversation too.
