There is a pleasant natural sunlit area used as a boardroom where individual families or groups of parents can meet and discuss their children’s needs in a MDT setting. The spacious seminar area will be used as a medical educational centre for all health professionals and families.
Our goal is to be a local educational hub, sharing our medical knowledge and resources to empower our local community of medical professionals. We will hold quarterly paediatric education updates where GPs can discuss challenging cases and explore more about paediatric conditions as part of their ongoing professional development.
We will also run regular seminars for parents on numerous conditions affecting children, including first aid. When parents are emotionally well supported, educated and confident, they can advocate best for their child and help achieve their optimum health goals.
