Clinicians are invited to follow a learning pathway that suits their individual needs.
Each topic initially offers an overview and key clinical learning (~2 hours per topic). Additional information that may be of interest is clearly signposted; and can be accessed according to the clinician's interest or area of work. Learning can focus on work with a particular age group, infant and toddler, childhood years or adolescents, or across the age range.
