Neurodevelopmental series

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Lucy Sanctuary, and Occupational Therapist Dr. Sally Payne, to discuss ‘Communication and functional skills’. The Chair of this session is Dr. Mark Lovell. 

This ‘NDC Learning Series’ is aimed at health professionals who come into contact with children and young people who have Neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs). The aim is to bring you into a conversation with specialists, covering what you can do in your own practice that covers their area of expertise, and how we can work together more effectively. This series of webinars is present by the ACAMH Neurodevelopmental SIG and is open to all.

Key takeaways

  • Practical tips around all aspects of NDC care
  • Opportunity for case discussion with experts
  • Learn how to forge and foster local partnerships across health, education, and social care, to promote better, more efficient care
  • Know what the experts would like you to have done before you refer to them!

Who should attend

The audience is intended to be health professionals of any profession and seniority.
