PANS PANDAS UK delivers Inaugural Educational Psychology Training Session

Educational psychologists play a crucial role in assessing and addressing the educational needs of children and young people living with PANS and PANDAS. However, awareness of these conditions remains low among education and allied professionals.

PANS PANDAS UK is therefore delighted to share that 42 professionals attended the first online PANS PANDAS UK education training specially tailored for Educational Psychologists on Monday 5th December.  Many thanks to Dan O’Hare in collaboration with Edpsy.org.uk for organising and facilitating the session.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive and will feed into further development of our training offer. Educational psychologists interested in organising an online training session are encouraged to contact Tina Coope at tina.coope@panspandasuk.org.
