POEMS For Children is for everybody that works with children.
POEMS for Children
POEMS For Children is UK based charity set up with the aim to train professionals to manage anxious children more effectively.
Our training is designed to help you understand, reduce or completely avoid anxiety in children undergoing medical procedures.
Reducing anxiety at the time of medical intervention has been linked with a reduction in both the short and long term signs and symptoms of psychological morbidity children develop after their procedure.
Up to 80% of children admitted to hospital with chronic illness experience anxiety from hospitalisation alone.
Our Course
The dedicated POEMS team has designed this unique course to help all healthcare professionals recognise, manage and mitigate anxiety in children when they come into contact with healthcare.
At the end, the participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
