How to Manage: Neurodevelopmental disordersJoin us in London on 29 October for this expert-led course, which will cover the tools and services that support diagnosis and ongoing management, as well as the coordination of child and family centred care.

Urgent and emergency care must be fully integrated to ensure that children are seen by the right people, at the right place and in the right setting.
