<p>Welcome to the (delayed) 10th & SUMMER BOTOX SPECIAL EPISODE of BSCOS Paediatric Orthopaedic Digest (POD)cast with Caroline Edwards, Head of Childrens Surgery at Plymouth hospital who started her consultant career at Southampton Childrens Hospital, she set up and developed the neuromuscular service. She proposes a "hub and spoke" model for learning at busy tertiary centres and shared her research on the surgical vulnerability score, a tool to assess the likelihood of early death in patients with neuromuscular disorders. Caroline highlights the challenges faced by young adults transitioning from clinic care for cerebral palsy and suggested district general hospitals could provide dedicated clinics.
