RCPI Masterclass - Perspectives on Navigating the Transition From Paediatric to Adult Care

15 January 2025 | 17:30pm - 19:30pm

For adolescents and young adults with chronic physical and medical conditions, moving from child-centred healthcare services to adult services can be challenging. Transition is the planned move of a patient's care from a paediatric to an adult health care provider and is necessary to achieve the best outcomes possible for patients and their families in areas of health, independence, and adulthood. This masterclass will explore the complexities of that process, with perspectives from paediatricians, other consultants, and crucially, from a young person who has navigated that transition.

This Masterclass is free for Members and Fellows in good standing. To find out more and register please click here.

Introduction to Global Health

Understanding our role as global citizens while working as clinicians in our local environment is becoming increasingly important. We have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic that illness does not respect borders. Increasing our awareness of our global working environment will improve our own clinical performance and our patients’ outcomes. The Forum of Postgraduate Training Bodies has completed the process of developing a competency framework, outlining 5 core competencies in which all medical practitioners in Ireland should be knowledgeable. This will improve the ability of the medical workforce in Ireland to fully participate in the global health system.

This module is free to RCPI Members, Fellows and Trainees. More information and to book here.
