Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health conference, 13-15th March 2018, "Children First – Ethics, Morality and Advocacy in Childhood"

https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/events/annual-conference

Despite the theme, Crawley will be there.
Day One, "How to manage CFS/ME, fatigue and pain in children, Professor Esther Crawley"

Other highlights
Day One, "The role of systematic family work in the management of children with severe medically unexplained symptoms, Dr Joanne Holmes"
and
Day Three, "‘Everyone Can Groove' (ECG) - How we can dance our way to health, Dr Guddi Singh"

 

The theme for the conference is ‘Children First – Ethics, Morality and Advocacy in Childhood’ and there will be a selection of workshops and talks taking place throughout three days that will explore this crucial area.

I wonder if they have any advocates billed to speak.
Certain people seem to be reading a rather fine line these days. (Not including Donald Trump that is.)

 

Wow, just how generic can they make this with one Guru doctor for all pain and all fatigue. All pain and all fatigue is the same cause and only one doctor Crawley needs to be consulted.

 

ffs

 

If only @Grigor could see the day 3 highlight - then we may have an objective measure

 

There are other implications for this talk; RCPCH see my post here:

Preparing for RCPCH Progress (2018 curriculum)

This section provides information on the new curriculum for paediatric training, which launches in August 2018"

"
The RCPCH Progress curriculum has now been approved by the GMC for delivery from 1 August. Download the curriculum and some of the supporting syllabi below.

RCPCH Progress curriculum (PDF, 370KB, 38 pages)"
"The new curriculum is based on a framework of learning outcomes as opposed to the current list of competencies, and incorporates the Generic Professional Capabilities the GMC expect of all doctors. Collecting evidence for an outcomes based curriculum will be very different from getting a competency signed off. This new approach will allow greater flexibility for you to demonstrate achievement."
"
How can I get involved with the launch and implementation?

We are looking for trainees, tutors and supervisors who can help us spread the word about RCPCH Progress. "

I literally can't face reading the above right now, but will do.
Thanks for putting all this together.
Do they acknowledge that children can get severe ME?

 

RCPCH Progress curriculum

see page 22:
Leadership and team working:

Promotes an open
culture of learning
and accountability
by challenging and
influencing colleague’s
behaviour

Patient safety:
Applies appropriate

clinical care situations
and manages risk
effectively.
Demonstrates ability
to mitigate against
potential risks.

Participates in
investigating,
reporting and resolving
risks to patients,
including appropriate
communication
with patients and
families/carers.

Maybe they should have refresher courses.

 

If only it was just their English that was wrong!

 

I was actually heartened when I saw the title of this thread and thought "Oh good, what a perfect venue to discuss the shenanigans and disgraceful behaviour of EC. Oh well

Establishing herself as a pillar of ethics and morality in the hope that it will help as her machinations become more widely known and discussed.

How to scare the shit out of families with ill children so they do what you want.

FFS.

 

It looks rather harmless in this article. But does she claim a cure??

At least she is not a keynote speaker, merely doing an early morning practise session on the first day. Hopefully the turn out won't be huge.

Probably not worth crowdfunding Dr Rowe to come over. We should leave that to next year when he and Dr Speight can take centre stage with a keynote address on "Science based approach to ME," a serious, multi system....

Feel free to suggest suitable other lecture topics and workshops.

 

Interesting though, will she fly back to Bristol for the next day meeting on Trial design at which she was scheduled to speak for 10 mins? If imy memory is correct.
What are the odds that she'll ditch that, delegate it to a colleague and sty up in Scotland for the dinner on Wed and other networking opportunities.
Anyone in Scotland want to arrange a local showing of Unrest on the Monday evening or leaflets to hand out to participants?

 

I forgot David Tuller could be after dinner speaker next year as well.

 

Does anyone have any insight into this - Trudie Chalder seems to be following up on adolescent psychology in BABCP conference ( also in Glasgow) ....
