Seeking interested speakers to partner with Taking Paediatrics Abroad
We have an amazing opportunity to share and learn together with our Pacific and PNG fellow therapists. The AusACPDM Pacific group is pairing with Taking Paediatrics Abroad https://www.takingpaediatricsabroad.org.au/ to deliver online sessions covering topics that have been identified by our Pacific and PNG colleagues. Sessions are organised by Dr Kathryn Currow, TPA Founder and Managing Director.
Sessions are delivered on zoom and occur at a time and date suitable to you!
Each session is about 45 minutes of presenting and 15 minutes of questions. Kathryn will guide presentations and will facilitate each session. Presenters need to consider the context and resources that will be available to these therapists in their talk. Please contact Gaela Kilgour if you want more information or would love to contribute: craigaela@gmail.com
Here are the topics that have been requested from therapists in Fiji, Honiara, and Port Moresby:
- Cerebral palsy – evidence based interventions, posture, low tone/hypotonia, spasticity (note: spasticity management will be covered in a separate topic by other presenters)
