Who should come?
Europaediatrics 2003 aims to update paediatricians on recent advances
and improvements in treatment across the whole spectrum of practice.
It will provide vital information on current best practice for primary
care paediatricians and for those in specialist areas of practice
who need to keep up to date with general and mainstream paediatric
problems. Paediatric residents and nurses will also be welcome.
How it's organised
Each guest speaker will deliver at least two lectures,
one on recent scientific advances in his or her field and one giving
an overview of current best practice. They will also run workshop
and personal practice sessions where delegates can ask questions
and discuss clinical problems.
What is it about?
Here's a taster. If you know the answer to all these questions,
