Parents and carers, get ready to feel empowered, not panicked.

Sarah Duncanson from PAEDS and Penny Blunden from Sick Happens have launched Prepared Not Scared, a new podcast created to offer support and clear guidance for managing children’s everyday illnesses and injuries—without the fear factor.

"Being a parent is scary enough without someone making you feel like every bad thing is going to happen to your child," says Sarah.

"We wanted to deliver information in a way that supported parents to manage inevitable illnesses and injuries - injuries that are a really natural part of childhood."

Each weekly episode guides parents and carers through common issues - from fevers to rashes to choking incidents.

With their shared backgrounds as paediatric nurses and fellow parents, Sarah and Penny bring both expertise and empathy to each discussion.

"Penny is a fellow paediatric nurse. We both have our masters in paediatrics as well. She has an incredible experience in the military sector, lots of experience in research around food allergy, emergency nursing, telehealth nursing, and now she runs her own business which teaches parents about how to manage inevitable illnesses in kids. She has a really empathetic approach to her teaching and she's such a wealth of knowledge.

"I've got extensive experience in paediatric critical care, medical retrieval and also the paediatric disability sector. And I also bring that rural aspect to the podcast as well because it's very different living rural and having sick or injured kids.

"Hopefully the combination means that we cover the huge range of parents and carers who might be listening."
