In 2024, we delivered a Journal Club Mini-Series. These sessions housed a collaborative platform where healthcare professionals in our ECHO community gathered to review and discuss recent literature and advancements in paediatric medicine. The purpose of the Journal Club was to enhance knowledge, share evidence-based practices, and foster a deeper understanding of key issues and innovations in paediatric healthcare.
