Astrid M. Koenig

As Ear-Nose-Throat Consultant at the Royal Hospital for Children's in Glasgow, I am passionate about the empowerment of children during their journey towards health. The role of the healthcare professional is to serve, to support and to involve the child and their parents in all aspects of diagnostic and treatment. As all communication is judged by the recipient, we professionals should ask ourselves: Does the child understand what is going on, and if not, why not?
