Australia organises EPEC-Pediatrics course

Friday 8th & Saturday 9th March, 2019 Sydney, Australia

The EPEC-Pediatrics curriculum is held over 2-days and features state-of-the-art knowledge in pain and symptom management and training in the skills required to address key domains for paediatric palliative care. The program is designed to give paediatric healthcare professionals (incl. physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, psychologists) the knowledge and skills needed to provide excellent palliative care to their patients and their families.

Participants will also be equipped to become EPEC-Pediatric Trainers who can educate interdisciplinary teams providing care to children with serious illness.

Numbers are strictly limited. Don’t be disappointed the last time this was held Down Under (Auckland, New Zealand 2016) the course was very quickly over-subscribed.

Registration Fee:  

Regular  AUD $ 1,250
Low and Middle-Income Countries AUD $    600

Registration details will be provided on acceptance.
