Clinicians Guide to
Healthy Kids

Clinicians Guide to Healthy Kids is a podcast series that aims to equip healthcare professionals with expert insights, empowering them to collaborate with children and their families to build healthy habits together. The podcast series explores a diverse range of topics including sleep, nutrition, physical activity, healthy growth and disordered eating in children. By offering practical advice tailored for health professionals, this podcast series strives to promote the overall health and wellbeing of children and their families.  

Throughout the season we will engage in informative discussions with Queensland health experts to learn about strategies to approach prevention in clinical care. 

Our first season is a special 9-part series that focuses on the practical side to integrating prevention or first-line treatment into daily healthcare moments. Throughout this series we will explore how to raise health concerns with families, how to complete brief health behaviour assessments and how to provide advice and support for families across Queensland. 

Clinicians Guide to Healthy Kids is an initiative of Health and Wellbeing Queensland.
