On the 19^th and 20^th of October 2024, the Train the Trainer workshop will be held in Rome at Roma Scout Center.

Please be aware that the EPEC workshop venue is different from the Congress venue.

This Train the Trainer workshop is aimed at professionals who are already experienced in providing pediatric palliative care and wish to teach Pediatric Palliative Care in their region/country or institution. This is NOT a course for pediatric clinicians hoping to learn the basics of PPC.

The professions that can participate are: doctors, nurses, psychologists, trainees, phisyotherapists and social workers.

The workshop is based on the well-established and proven training methods of EPEC, the curriculum features a high impact, widely disseminated approach that utilizes a train-the-trainer model. Participants must be fully articulate in the English Language to be able to complete the training modules.
