Workshops (Chose from 2 of the following)
- Pill School - Join the Poole Pill School team in sharing our journey of encouraging children and young people to switch from liquid to tablet medication. We'll cover the why's, highs and lows of what has (and hasn't) worked for us so far. Plus, there will be plenty of sweeties and water bottles to have a go yourself!
- Puberty 101 - Notebooks and iPads at the ready as Ed Andrews leads an interactive case-based workshop covering who, when and how to investigate children and young people with puberty concerns
- Organ Donation - come and hear from the Organ Donation team about the what happens when a child is considered as a donor or recipient of an organ. This may not be something you come across in your practice everyday, but understanding this process is vital to ensuring the right questions are asked at the right time.
- Demystifying Tissue Viability - Ever wondered how to chose the right dressing for the right wound? Do you know the difference between dressing a laceration, a surgical wound or a burn? Do you think all dressings are basically the same? Come and hear from the experts who will answer all these questions and more.
- Neurofibromatosis 101 - The team at Alexion present a sponsored workshop focussing on Neurofibromatosis. They will cover the recognition, diagnosis and new treatment options that are coming to the market soon.

Sustainability
Sustainability is a key focus of the conference this year. We are pleased to be working with our venue, Hope Church, and our caterers to ensure that as much of the consumables at the conference are reusable or recycled. As part of this effort, we are really pleased to be able to offer all attendees reusable thermos drinks cups from our partners at SHO (www.shoreusable.com) to be used during and after the conference.
