Extension Seminar in Paediatrics: The first 1000 days of life

The first 1000 days of a child's life, from conception to their second birthday, is a unique period of rapid development. In the pre-conception and conception period, maternal health and wellbeing is critical to a child's healthy development.

It is known the in utero experience of a baby followed by a child’s early life experience predicts their chances of succeeding at school, of doing well in life and of having chronic diseases as an adult. As most paediatric admissions occur in patients < 5 years, this seminar will focus on the first 1000 days of life.  Topics include, pharmaceutics in paediatrics and neonates, normal growth and development, childhood illnesses, newborn testing and endocrine disorders in neonates. 

The seminar is comprised of 8 hours of content, divided into approx. 2 – 2.5 hours pre-work, and 5.5 – 6 hours of content on the live day.

The self-paced learning package will be available on Friday 7 February 2025.  The live virtual component of this seminar will take place on Saturday 22 March 2024. The self-paced learning package materials must be completed prior to attending the live virtual seminar.

Please note: all attendees will have 18 weeks of access to the seminar self-paced learning package and resources from your date of enrolment into this page.  Enrolment details will be sent to registered attendees when available. Presentation recordings from the live virtual seminar will not be available.
