Community paediatrics - LSP study day and LME skills evening

This meeting will review current understanding of common issues and best practice within the community child health field, including the recognition and management of developmental problems, the multi-disciplinary approach to the child with complex medical needs, and key updates in education and safeguarding.

Carefully mapped to the RCPCH curriculum, and with lectures and interactive sessions delivered by experts, this study day offers a valuable opportunity to cover topics that may be difficult to address within a hospital setting.

Topics include:

• Recognise and manage common developmental and behavioural problems.
• How sensory impairment may contribute to developmental difficulties, and to refer patients appropriately for further assessment.
• Recognise various sign and symptoms that might indicate child abuse.
• Assess and formulate appropriate diagnoses, investigation and management plans for children with motor disorders.
• Multidisciplinary approaches to investigate death in infancy and childhood, and how this information can be used in service development leadership, management and education (LME) skills evening

"7 Habits of Highly Effective People": How to get it all done!

Being a paediatrician can sometimes be as demanding as it is satisfying, and we also know that high levels of fulfilment in other areas of life can enhance work performance.

How often do we reflect on our ability to use time efficiently and channel energy productively? How often do we recognise that these skills can be developed and used both at work and at home, to reduce stress and achieve more?

Come and hear two senior paediatricians discuss the seminal work by Stephen Covey on the 7 habits of highly effective people.
