Clinical Professionals Conference
Date: Friday 9th October
Venue: Ashorne Hill Conference Centre
Audience: Clinicians, GPs, paediatricians and other healthcare professionals.
Welcome to day two of Perspectives on PANS, our landmark three-day conference.
This in-person conference day will bring together clinicians, consultants, paediatricians, GPs and Allied Health Professionals to support the wider understanding of PANS and PANDAS, as well as the clinical application of the new treatment guideline that we hope will be launched at this conference.
This day will include patient stories, background information on PANS and PANDAS, and themed sessions linked to the new treatment guideline. These sessions, delivered by our panel of expert speakers, will include:
- Assessment and diagnosis
- Management
- Monitoring and review
- Information, education and support
- We will end the day with a Panel Q&A with all our speakers.

This conference has 5.5 CPD hours pre-approved by the CPD Certification Service.
This day is specifically for clinical professionals. If you are a community member, please visit our dedicated Community Conference page.
