Jonas Borell. What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that

Anledningen är att det saknas både nationella och internationella riktlinjer hur dessa barn ska utredas. Nu har ett forskarteam på Lunds universitet lagt fram förslag på riktlinjer, för att barnen ska få färre akuta och oplanerade sjukvårdskontakter o
