Medically unexplained symptoms in children and young people eLearn

Around 30 per cent of young people seen by health practitioners like GPs experience physical symptoms that don’t have a clear medical cause or explanation. These are known as medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), physical symptoms that are not caused by a medical illness.

We've developed an eLearn for RCH staff who care for children and young people with MUS.

The course aims to:

• introduce key concepts about MUS and somatising, including appropriate terminology
• provide information about care pathways, including identification and management of MUS presentations
• improve understanding of functional rehabilitation and multidisciplinary teamwork in MUS cases
• develop clinician confidence to care for and collaborate with children, young people and families in MUS cases
