NPPG are delighted to announce that we will be running an online programme for anyone wishing to participate in the Starting Out in Children’s Medicines Optimisation Autumn 2026 online course which has been put together to help fit in with your busy workloads over the coming months.
The programme will run over two afternoons in November and both sessions will be available in the on-demand library for registered participants to go back to, or to catch-up on any missed sessions. Delegates are encouraged as much as possible to block time-off in their diary and to join the live broadcast which includes a case discussion and Q&A session.
