Brief Summary
The Paediatric Analgesia Slide is a device developed for parents. Its development follows research into the Paediatric Analgesia Wheel, a device intended for use by hospital doctors. Previous research has shown the benefit of using aids such as the Paediatric Analgesia Wheel when simulating prescribing to children in hospital. At present, it is unknown whether this concept can be extended to use by parents when administering paracetamol to their children at home.
