Dr Tasmin Brown
Cambridgeshire Consultant Community Paediatrician
Join the fourth ENT day to learn from past controversies in ENT and how to manage patients who present diagnose or treatment challenges. These meetings offer the perfect opportunity for networking with colleagues and renowned speakers. Lunch is included when booking the morning and afternoon meetings.
Morning meeting
In the morning session some of the more common paediatric ENT problems seen by all Otolaryngologists will be looked at, starting with the questions we hear from parents all the time. Haytham Kubba from Glasgow will cover glue ear, Su De from Liverpool will look at recurrent acute otitis media, and Grace Khong at how to deal with a blocked nose once the adenoids have been removed. Moving onto adenotonsillar disease the question often heard is ‘What are tonsils and adenoids for and can we do without them’ Over the years there have been mixed messages coming out from various NHS and ENT statutory bodies and both clinicians and parents are confused. The group from Newcastle have spent some time on the subject and will present their work. Before coffee the emerging role of virtual reality simulation in ENT training will be introduced.
The second part of the morning will start with Reema Nandi, one of the senior Paediatric Anaesthetists at Great Ormond Street Hospital, presenting her approach to anesthesia for paediatric ENT. There will then be the continuation of the Update series with a focus on more complex Paediatric Otolaryngology with speakers from both international and UK speakers.
Afternoon meeting
In the afternoon session, we will explore advanced investigations and treatments for children with inner and middle ear diseases, featuring experts from across the UK. Jessica Bewick and Konstance Tzifa will discuss their work in creating a dedicated paediatric hearing loss MDT, including evolving genetic investigations and the impact of Cytomegalovirus on acquired sensorineural hearing loss. Isobel Fitzgerald O’Connor will share her experiences in delivering outreach services and surgical ear care in resource-limited settings, highlighting the challenges and the need for tailored local solutions. Tamsin Brown will then present her development of a low-cost hearing device, "HearGlueEar," for children with conductive hearing loss.
After the break, our third Otology Masterclass will focus on managing childhood cholesteatoma and will cover training requirements, decision-making, and the latest techniques for complete removal, hearing rehabilitation, and long-term reconstruction. The session will conclude with a talk by Michel Poulain, a demographic scientist who will discuss the story behind his identification of 5 "Blue Zones" around the world where the longest-lived populations reside. He will then share his insights into achieving an exceptionally long and healthy life.
