Most paediatric cardiac presentations in general practice are benign but careful assessment is essential to rule out serious conditions. Heart murmurs are often innocent yet clinicians must remain alert to red flags such as cyanosis, poor growth or exertional symptoms. GPs play a key role in early detection, monitoring and referral. This session provides a practical guide to assessing heart murmurs in children, recognising red flags and understanding common paediatric cardiology referrals. It also outlines how to streamline initial work‑ups to support clearer, more efficient care. Part of the Shire CPD series for GPs.
This event is part of the Shire CPD series for GPs, developed by Sutherland Shire practicing GPs, and is open to all GPs, including those who are not currently PHN members.
