Training Courses in Children's Palliative Care

Events, August 2009

The ICPCN is committed to building up a database showing exactly what training is available around the globe in the field of children's palliative care. We are interested in all levels of training, from one or two day courses that provide an overview and awareness to training at diploma or degree level and beyond. It is hoped that the results of this survey will help to identify the gaps that exist in training while providing practitioners with a reliable source of information on the training that is available.

We request that any individual, organisation or institution providing training in the field of children's palliative care download the ICPCN Training Survey Form, fill it in and return it to the ICPCN Information Officer at sue@icpcn.co.za  

The short survey form is in Excel format and is simple to complete.

Once the survey form has been received the information will be added to the database and then posted onto the website, providing useful information to our membership.
