The demand for home ventilation expertise in paediatric care has intensified with its potential to substantially improve the quality of life for young patients. Facilitating personalised care plans, minimising hospitalisations, and fostering family-centred support are pivotal benefits. As we navigate this webinar, we collectively address this growing need and equip ourselves to enhance the care we provide to our paediatric population.
Educational aims
The aims of this webinar are to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of paediatric home ventilation, including its principles, benefits, and challenges while equipping them with the latest knowledge on equipment and technology. The session aims to empower healthcare professionals to make informed decisions, enhance patient outcomes, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, promote safety through monitoring and protocols, and enable family-centred care, all contributing to improved quality of life for paediatric patients undergoing home ventilation.

What is a webinar?
A webinar closely simulates a lecture-based teaching experience. The speaker can interact with the audience, just as in a classroom setting. During the webinar, you will be asked to share your opinion on issues related to the topic using interactive polls.
All participants will be able to hear the lecturer and see the slides throughout the presentation. As a participant you will be able to pose questions or discuss ideas with the other participants via the text chat facility and the speaker will respond to the questions via the microphone.
