Perplexing Presentations - Face to Face

This Level 4  face to face involving our local  safeguarding health professionals led by Designated Doctor, Dr Liz Adamson, NEL ICB, looks at perplexing presentations or situations known in the past as “Fabricated and/or Induced Illness-FII”.  Situations for children and adults.

The essence of alerting signs is the presence of discrepancies between reports, presentations of the child and independent observations of the child, implausible descriptions and unexplained findings or parental behaviour. The definition of FII has been extended by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) Child Protection Companion (2013), to include the term ‘Perplexing Presentations’ (PP). In February 2021 the RCPCH introduced new guidance for paediatricians on the management of Perplexing Presentations (PP), Fabricated and/or Induced Illness (FII) in Children.   https://childprotection.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/perplexing-presentations-and-fii/
