Thank you all for continuing to support our work to promote paediatric pain management. Our survey has gone out to countries around the world to assess what medications they have available for managing pain in children’s palliative care. We have also been undergoing the review of pain guidelines from around the world and linking the results of this with the results of the medicines survey as we develop the best practice guidelines for managing pain in children’s palliative care. We are delighted to be doing this in collaboration with other organisations, including the WHO.
Our training around the world continues – with a lot of work currently going on with our e-learning programmes and face-to-face training. Some recent highlights include face-to-face training on children’s palliative care in the Czech Republic and in Ghana as well as virtual training for our colleagues in Iraq. We are also having monthly webinars in Ghana – in June we looked at pain assessment and in July we are looking at pain management. In June we had nearly 600 participants attend and we expect more to attend in July when we look at pain management.
Our e-learning programmes, including on pain assessment and management continue to be used widely and we are in the process of upgrading our e-learning site to ‘ICPCN’s Education and Membership Hub’ and we look forward to developing the site further.
So much is happening here at ICPCN with regards to children’s palliative care and we are excited to be working with colleagues from around the world to ensure that children globally have access to the care that they need.
Thank you again for your continued support.
