Biennial meeting of the AEPC working group on Neurodevelopment & Psychosocial Care “Improving Outcomes”

This conference will explore promising strategies to support neurodevelopmental, behavioral and mental health outcomes— we will examine interventions being implemented in the population of children with CHD but also those that have been successfully implemented in other populations, covering a wide range of ages and approaches. Sessions will cover both conceptual frameworks and practical approaches to complex interventions, with insights from researchers, clinicians, and stakeholders. The conference addresses all healthcare professionals working with CHD patients (cardiologists, pediatricians, nurses, psychologists, speech therapist, dieticians …) or other paediatric populations, AEPC and CNOC members, patients and parents. The detailed program, venue and link for registration can be found on https://www.kispi.uzh.ch/sites/default/files/d3-documents/kd01115603.pdf Abstract submission is now open.
