Understanding low sodium: further assessment and management

This episode makes reference to guidelines produced by North Bristol NHS Trust, Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Trust and Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust. The content on this channel reflects my professional interpretation/summary of the guidance and I am in no way affiliated with, employed by or funded/sponsored by them. My name is Fernando Florido and I am a General Practitioner in the United Kingdom. In this episode I go through the guidelines on hyponatraemia produced by North Bristol NHS Trust, Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Trust and Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, focusing on what is relevant to Primary Care only. Other guidance has also been consulted and links to all of them can be found below.
