Clinical Professionals Conference

Welcome to day two of Perspectives on PANS, our landmark three-day conference.
This day brings together healthcare professionals from across paediatrics, primary care, mental health and allied health services for a dedicated conference exploring understanding and management of PANS and PANDAS.
Designed to support clinical practice, this event will equip attendees with practical knowledge and greater confidence in identifying symptoms, supporting assessment and diagnosis, understanding treatment approaches, and delivering effective ongoing care. Through a combination of expert presentations, patient stories and themed educational sessions, delegates will gain valuable insights into current approaches and multidisciplinary best practice.
These educational sessions, delivered by our panel of expert speakers, will include:
- Assessment and diagnosis
- Management
- Monitoring and review
- Information, education and support
The conference will conclude with a live Q&A session featuring all our speakers
This conference has 6 CPD hours pre-approved by the CPD Certification Service.
Virtual Tickets
With only a few in-person places remaining, and in response to the fantastic level of interest in this section of our conference, we are pleased to have now opened virtual ticket sales; giving even more people the opportunity to join us remotely.
Virtual tickets are available to both healthcare professionals and community members.
Community members are very welcome to attend virtually alongside professional colleagues. However, as this event is primarily aimed at healthcare professionals working with patients across paediatrics, primary care, mental health and allied health services, presentations and discussions will be delivered at a level intended for a clinical audience.
