What makes us different is our approach to teaching: by bringing together multidisciplinary professionals from different healthcare backgrounds, we provide an opportunity for interaction and knowledge exchange across disciplines. This framework provides unique networking opportunities that will give you a broader perspective of the guidelines, emerging evidence-based practice, and care pathways. This in turn will give you a greater understanding on how these factors interact so that you can better support patients, their families, and other members of the multidisciplinary team.

We are proud to collaborate with national and international expert researchers and clinicians. This is to ensure that the knowledge and information we share is the most relevant and as up to date as possible.
