EPIC is the Effective Peri-Procedural Communication interest group within SPANZA. EPIC aims to provide language, communication and imaginative techniques for every child, every time they have a medical procedure. The EPIC workshops teach these techniques to help health professionals engage with children and their families and enhance their ability to manage medical procedures.

The learning in the course is interactive and experiential. Background knowledge is provided prior to the course in an e-learning format which covers the basic principles and provides examples of techniques used. These techniques will then be taught experientially in the course.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The courses are for anaesthetists, surgeons, physicians, dentists, and other health professionals (nurses, social workers, play therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists) who work with children and are keen to expand their ability to provide effective empowering communication for procedural care.

Attendees should be interested in gaining information and skills to understand the importance of preventing and managing procedural anxiety.
