“She has been seen by every junior doctor and nurse in paediatrics at St Mary’s Hospital, London.
She has had breathing difficulties, meningitis, malaria, head trauma and asthma.
Thankfully baby Gertrude is not real, but a simulated nine-month-old baby used to train medical staff how to deal with a seriously ill baby.

Her skin colour can change to blue and even her fontanelle (the soft spot on a baby’s head) can bulge and go tense to simulate meningitis.”
