Unprecedented demand for PANDAS module
We are delighted that hundreds of healthcare professionals have already completed the first-ever PANDAS CPD module.
Since launching the PANDAS-specific module in October 2024, MIMS Learning has reported hundreds more completions than they would usually anticipate in a module of this kind. This demonstrates healthcare professionals’ growing interest in learning more about acute neuropsychiatric conditions.
Freely available to all healthcare professionals, the module:
- is the first of its kind for UK healthcare professionals in primary and secondary care
- aims to improve awareness of childhood acute neuropsychiatric conditions
- describes what PANDAS is and how to diagnose it
- details the current recommendations for treatment
- is approved, and will be continually reviewed, by PANS PANDAS UK.
The module contains information about PANS and signposts international guidelines for both conditions. We encourage all primary and secondary healthcare professionals seeking to learn more about PANS and PANDAS to complete this training module.
Please download the MIMS information leaflet and share it with the health professionals supporting you and your family, and help us spread awareness of this invaluable training.
