This important national conference provides an essential update for non medical prescribers in paediatrics and child health. Elevate your practice, expand your knowledge, and enhance your impact on the well-being of our youngest patients.
“Guidelines for non medical prescribing are ever changing, and those of us working within child health need to maintain an awareness of not just generic guidelines, but those that are also relevant to neonates, children and young people... It is imperative that a paediatric non medical prescriber is aware of their scope of practice”
Prof Kate Davies Associate Professor, Associate Professor in Non Medical Prescribing and Paediatric Endocrinology, Deputy Course Director in Non Medical Prescribing, London South Bank University, February 2024
