Dr. Marianne Gaushe-Hill highlighted the importance of recording weight only in kilograms by presenting two case studies of children whose weight was misrecorded, the results of those errors and detailed several best practices and resources, such as conversion charts, to help avoid this issue. This was followed by a discussion on recognition of child abuse and well as establishing a "Just Culture" around errors.
