Communication in pediatric consultations can be complex due
to the triadic interaction [10]. Parents commonly speak for their
child and the needs and anxieties of the parent can take priority
[11,12]. Parents can find it difficult to understand acute illness in
their child and feel disempowered by inadequate information
sharing by doctors [13]. In particular, parents report receiving
insufficient information and being left with uncertainty after
consultations for RTI [14].
