About this event

  • Date and time Wed 11 Jun 2025 from 9:00am to 5:00pm
  • Location Online
  • Organised by Paediatrics and Child Health, London School of Paediatrics

This comprehensive study day is designed to enhance your understanding of paediatric rheumatology and dermatology—two crucial yet often underrepresented areas in general paediatrics. 

Through expert-led sessions, we will cover key conditions and practical approaches, including:

  • Rheumatological emergencies and vasculitis
  • Eczema management and neonatal dermatology
  • Mastering the paediatric musculoskeletal examination

This event aims to equip general paediatric trainees with the confidence and skills to effectively assess and manage these conditions in clinical practice.

Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to explore career pathways, including insights into the paediatric rheumatology application process.

Key Takeaways:

  • Recognise and respond to critical paediatric rheumatological and dermatological emergencies with confidence.
  • Master a structured approach to conducting a paediatric musculoskeletal examination for accurate assessment and diagnosis.
  • Enhance clinical decision-making by testing and refining your knowledge of common and complex paediatric dermatological conditions.

Who Should Attend?

This talk is particularly aimed at paediatricians, GPs, psychiatry trainees, students, newly qualified doctors, consultants, and allied health professionals with an interest in paediatric mental health. This study day offers valuable learning and networking opportunities to strengthen your expertise.

This study day is held in conjunction with the London School of Paediatrics.
