## Resource

In this General Practice Clinical session, we are joined by Dr. Sarah McMahon, a pediatric endocrinologist, to unpack the latest updates to the international guidelines for Turner syndrome care. Designed to serve as a comprehensive roadmap for clinicians, Dr. McMahon breaks down the extensive checklist of 47 health surveillance recommendations that span a patient's entire lifespan. She discusses critical pediatric interventions, including the rationale for initiating growth hormone therapy as early as two years of age to prevent further growth failure. Dr. McMahon also explains the shift toward using transdermal estrogen starting between 11 and 12 years of age to closely mimic normal pubertal development. Beyond pediatric growth, the conversation highlights the absolute necessity of lifelong monitoring for common, hidden comorbidities such as recurrent middle ear infections, hearing loss, celiac disease, and cardiovascular complications. Crucially, the episode addresses the pivotal transition period from adolescent to adult care, emphasizing the need for an intentional, structured handover to adult specialists experienced in Turner syndrome to prevent gaps in care. Whether you are a general practitioner, pediatrician, or specialist, this episode provides essential, practical insights on utilizing multi-disciplinary clinics and regular health checklists to deliver optimal, proactive care. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are a General Practitioner who gets invited to dozens of webinars a month.
