ICPCN Webinars

Children’s Palliative Care Webinar Series

We offer a webinar series on children’s palliative care which is usually held for 1.5 hours every month on the third Thursday of the month from 1-2.30pm UK time, although the time may vary depending on which time zones the presenters are in so please check each session. We appreciate the time will not be convenient for everyone, due to work commitments and the different time zones, so we will be recording them and making them available here on our website, and via YouTube so that you can join us later if you are unable to join us live.

Our previous webinar was held on Thursday 16th November 2023 from 1-2.30pm UK time and we looked at Paediatric Touch Therapy: An Innovative Approach to Children’s Healthcare. We will resume our webinar series in January 2024. Please be on the lookout for more information in our monthly newsletter and on social media.

 

Here is the recording of our latest webinar.
