The EPNS has been delighted to offer THREE 1 hour  webinars on ADVOCACY TRAINING with a special focus on the field of Child Neurology

Each webinar was broadcast live on Zoom and available for free to everyone who attended with certificates of attendance  issued to anybody who attends the full live broadcast.

Don’t worry if you missed the live broadcasts however because fully paid up EPNS members can access recordings of the full sessions via the EPNS Moodle.

The webinars provide insights and practical skills to enhance advocating for the implementation of IGAP at a local and national level. We will look at raising awareness about brain health in child neurology, together with coordinating with relevant stakeholders: patient organisations, politicians, administrators.

Whether you’re new to advocacy or looking to refine your skills, this series will offer practical, actionable advice and training.

View the recordings on the EPNS Moodle today and get ready to enhance your advocacy efforts and join the EPNS on our journey to raise the voice of Child Neurology in your community.
