DR VICTORIA MCKAY

Using a focus on children presenting with issues in gait and lower limbs, Victoria will discuss how a paediatrician approaches a child from assessment through to tailoring an individualised management plan for the child and family.  She will discuss a practical approach to assessing development, review key physical and developmental findings, and explain her approach to supporting the child to achieve their best developmental outcomes.
