The EPNS is delighted to offer THREE 1 hour  webinars on ADVOCACY TRAINING with a special focus on the field of Child Neurology

Each webinar will be broadcast live on Zoom and available for FREE to anyone who would like to register. Certificates of attendance will be issued to anybody who attends the full live broadcast.

Don’t worry if you are not available for the live broadcast however because fully paid up EPNS members will be able to access a recording of the full session via the EPNS Moodle after the event.

The webinars are aimed at providing insights and practical skills to enhance advocating for the implementation of IGAP at a local and national level. We will look at raising awareness about brain health in child neurology, together with coordinating with relevant stakeholders: patient organisations, politicians, administrators.

Whether you’re new to advocacy or looking to refine your skills, this series will offer practical, actionable advice and training.

Save these dates and get ready to enhance your advocacy efforts and join the EPNS on our journey to raise the voice of Child Neurology in your community.
