This session will consider approaches to managing a case in which fabricated or induced illness (FII) is suspected. While the session is based on the perspective of a paediatrician who takes a referral for specialist appraisal of a suspected FII case, it demonstrates that other health professionals including GPs, emergency department doctors and nurses, the child and adolescent mental health team, health visitors, school nurses, therapists and dieticians, may be directly involved in this difficult area. Paediatric surgeons, anaesthetists and other specialists may also be involved.

Duration: 30 minutes
