Podcast - Nappy Rash

Trending3.5(New)

Podcast – Nappy Rash is a concise Continuing Professional Development (CPD) learning activity designed for healthcare professionals involved in infant care, paediatrics, community nursing, pharmacy practice, and primary healthcare. This 30-minute CPD podcast explores the causes, clinical presentation, prevention, differential diagnosis, and management of nappy rash in infants and young children. The course provides evidence-based guidance to support effective assessment, parent education, and treatment planning in clinical practice. Nappy rash, also known as diaper dermatitis, is one of the most common inflammatory skin conditions affecting infants. Although usually mild and manageable, persistent or severe cases may cause discomfort, sleep disturbance, feeding difficulties, parental anxiety, and secondary infection. Healthcare professionals should therefore recognise early symptoms and identify contributing factors that increase risk.
