Treating Children in Practice: Clinical Confidence An Advanced Clinical Masterclass for Medical Herbalists 22.09.26

You already know the theory. This is where you build the judgment.

You had paediatric training (some or lots). You know the dosing rules, the red flags, the basic framework. And yet — when a child’s case sits in front of you, some part of you still hesitates. Second-guesses the dose. Wonders if you’re missing something. Reaches for the textbook again, just to be sure.

That’s not a knowledge gap. More theory won’t close it. What closes it is seeing enough real cases, worked through properly, that your judgment starts to trust itself — and having a clear decision rule for the exact moments where herbalists usually freeze.

This masterclass is built entirely around that. It is not a repeat of your paediatric training with more detail bolted on. It’s a live case clinic: real, anonymised cases worked through from first presentation to outcome, the specific points where practitioners get stuck named and solved, and a framework you take away to build clinical judgment faster after every case from here on.

This masterclass is for you if:
• You’ve had paediatric training but still hesitate, second-guess, or over-refer in your own clinic
• You want to see how real cases are actually reasoned through, not more theoretical content
• Dosing and safety decisions make you anxious even when you technically know the rules
• You want a working case clinic — bring your own anonymised cases and get them worked through live
• You’ve already done a foundational paediatric class (ours or elsewhere) and are ready for the next stage

What you’ll learn
✓ A decision-rule refresher — a one-page dosing and red-flag cheat sheet used as a working anchor, not a re-teach of material you already know.
✓ Real case walkthroughs — 6–10 anonymised cases worked through live: what data was gathered, what decision was made, why, and what happened next.
✓ Where herbalists get stuck — the named hesitation points — dosing anxiety, ambiguous presentations, parental pressure, referral timing — each paired with a concrete decision rule.
✓ A live case clinic — submit your own anonymised cases in advance and have them worked through as a group in the session.
✓ A self-check framework — a structured way to review your own paediatric cases after the class, so your clinical judgment keeps compounding long after the session ends.

What’s included
• 3–3.5 hours of live, case-led clinical teaching with Lucie Bradley
• The decision-rule cheat sheet (dosing and red flags, one page)
• A live case clinic — submit your own anonymised case in advance for group discussion
