About the education tab | Study Days

CLDF works with the UK specialist paediatric liver centres to present study days which aim to provide healthcare professionals with a sound overview of paediatric liver disease and how it relates to the particular delegate's work setting. A range of afternoon workshops allow delegates to gain greater insight into more specific areas of interest.

The course is suitable for those with a client with a liver disease and those wishing to extend their knowledge, including community paediatricians, general practitioners, midwives, health visitors, community paediatric teams, school nurses and shared care unit staff and staff involved in antenatal screening for viral hepatitis .
