This symposium will provide a contemporary account of rehabilitation programmes, specific interventions and educational support for children with cognitive, behavioural and emotional difficulties following neurological injury or neurodevelopmental disorder. A host of leading international speakers will participate in this unique symposium in order to consider how professionals may best support children and their families following neurological injury and what opportunities there may be to exploit brain plasticity in promoting positive learning, behaviour and socio-emotional development.

This long established masters-level course is held annually in collaboration with WHO and UNICEF.  It aims to update and develop participants' scientific, technical and practical knowledge and skills for supporting best practices in infant feeding, wherever they work.
The course provides a unique opportunity to study evidence-based breastfeeding with interested colleagues from around the world. It examines the technical basis of recommendations on infant feeding, from birth to 2+ years, and includes policy and programme implementation.
Recognising that many people cannot take 3 weeks away from work, the course is offered in two parts of 2 weeks + 1 week which can be taken together or separately. Part 1 focuses on clinical management and public health aspects of infant feeding. Part 2 comprises a series of themed study days investigating specific ares of infant and young child feeding in detail, including special care babies, complementary feeding, infant feeding in emergencies.

Topics will include:

• Selective eating
• Tube weaning
• Feeding problems in ASD
• Chewing and swallowing
• Feeding difficulties in infants
• Play approaches
• Interactive case discussion
• Q&A sessions

The 7th Annual Meeting of the British Association of Gynaecological Pathologists is broadly themed on endometrial neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathology and includes topics of general interest such as updates on new staging systems for gynaecological cancer and immunohistochemistry in gynaecological pathology.

Invited speakers include Dr Robert Soslow (Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Centre), Professor Glenn McCluggage (Belfast), Dr Suha Deen (Nottingham), Dr Janet Leake (Harlow) and Dr AR Williams (Edinburgh). Dr Soslow will conclude the day with a talk on Subclassification of Ovarian Surface Epithelial Tumours. Cases of educational interest will be presented by Dr Paul Cross (Gateshead), Dr Roberto Dina (London), Dr Mike Coutts (Maidstone) and Dr Nichola Cope (Exeter). Delegates will have an opportunity to submit diagnoses for the cases prior to the meeting for a prize-winning evaluation. There will be opportunities at the Course Dinner and during the day to meet experts in the field of gynaecological pathology and establish links with fellow pathologists from the UK and overseas.

This popular course is designed to give doctors who work with young children an insight into the principles that underlie developmental examination and the practical skills involved.

This is a new one day refresher course in paediatric radiology, held at the Institute of Child Health and delivered by Consultants from the radiology department at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and other paediatric centres in London.

Approval for 6 CPD credits from the Royal College of Radiologists and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has been applied for.

The aim of this course is to provide an update in the diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of children with rheumatological diseases and to encourage the development of shared clinical networks in line with the paediatric NSF. The first 2 days provide a comprehensive grounding in the subject and form a basic to moderate level course, whilst day 3 will cover more advanced topics and will also be suitable for more experienced practitioners. This course is multidisciplinary and will combine interactive, patient centred education with lecture style teaching and some workshops.

The Imaging Working Group of the Association of European Paediatric Cardiology (AEPC) in collaboration with the Working Group of Grown-up Congenital Heart Disease of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association of Echocardiography will organise the 5^th European Echocardiography Course in Congenital Heart Disease this time in London, from Wednesday 6^th to Saturday 9^th October 2010.

The course will provide both theoretical and practical review of echocardiographic techniques used in the current era, including Tissue Doppler Imaging, speckle tracking in both 2D and 3D echocardiography and real time 3D echocardiography.

For the first time, there will be three parallel hands-on sessions on: transthoracic live scanning with patients, transoesophageal scanning with simulators and 3D datasets postprocessing.

As in the previous courses, a forum of distinguished speakers and appreciated teachers from all over Europe and overseas will share their experience with the audience.
The number of participants is limited to 150, therefore we advise applicants to book early to guarantee a place on the course.
