In this introductory episode, we explore why empowering children in medical encounters matters and why communication is central to that mission. Your host shares her journey from junior doctor to paediatric ENT consultant, her own experiences as a patient, and the surprising lack of training clinicians receive in running outpatient clinics. She explains why the quality of doctor–child interactions shouldn’t depend on personality or luck, but on conscious, learnable principles. This episode sets the stage for a series dedicated to improving connection, clarity, and cooperation in paediatric care.
