Jocelynne E. Mcrae is a Paediatrician based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after babies, kids, and teens, and helps families when something doesn’t seem right. Children’s illnesses can change fast, so the approach is calm, practical, and focused on what the child needs today.
Jocelynne works with families dealing with a mix of common and more serious health problems. This can include infections like flu, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, shingles, pertussis, and other viral illnesses. At times, she also sees children with conditions linked to viruses such as Togaviridae disease and looks after kids when symptoms are concerning or lingering.
Some appointments are about breathing and fever, while others focus on the nervous system. She also helps manage children with seizures, including Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+). In some cases, children may have seizures with fever, or ongoing concerns that need careful follow-up. She also works with kids who have had encephalitis, and supports families through the stress that comes with sudden neurological symptoms.
There are also times when her paediatric care covers tummy problems and other urgent issues. For example, intussusception in children can be frightening for parents, and she guides families through how to recognise symptoms and what to do next. She may also assess children with more unusual conditions such as cramp-fasciculation syndrome or concerns that involve movement and strength, including paraplegia.
Over time, her clinical work has built around clear communication and steady care for children across a range of illnesses. She explains things in everyday language and aims to make plans that fit real life at home, not just what happens in a clinic. Education and research details are not listed here, but the focus stays the same: safe assessment, sensible next steps, and support for families through the hard bits.
