The role of neurodevelopmental issues in care experienced children with Matt Woolgar | 30 October 2024
Matt outlined how the clinic disentangles complex presentations, using biopsychosocial formulations and an openness to the full range of mental health issues. He described some of the mechanisms by which you can refer to this national clinic for second opinions or complex assessments for any care experienced children and young people from infancy to 18 years.
A summary of this session will be available to download shortly.
Quality of health assessments for children in care | 14 May 2024
In the second session of this new series, the quality of health assessments for children was on the agenda. CoramBAAF invited members to come along and share good practice examples and work undertaken locally to assess the quality of health assessments and discuss whether system changes are needed for the assessments of children living out of area.
Vaping and CBD products | 22 November 2023
In this first session the CoramBAAF team presented a roundup of current information on the topic. Members then debated the key practice points in breakout sessions and gave them the opportunity to discuss what advice medical advisers are giving in relation to carers using these products. We also looked at what the key public health messages are for children and young people.
