In collaboration with the Thames Valley and Wessex Paediatric ODN and Southampton Children's Hospital Education Team, we have collated a selection of useful resources on the bronchiolitis surge which is expected towards the end of 2021. These resources are aimed at current paediatric medics, nurses and AHPs with some additional material for non-paediatric staff.

If you are aware of any other useful resources for this page, please let us know at [email protected]
