  The lectures were and continue to be up to date, relevant and practical.
  I have been hooked to SCHP since! What is exciting is being able to
  use and adapt the knowledge to our local context, refine patient care
  plans and while teaching realise that I am also learning! As a Mom of
  one energetic toddler, I now appreciate why parent education is such a
  vital part of managing children. A section that among many is covered
  particularly well throughout the program.”

             This course was a fantastic opportunity to complement my learning
             about the management of various paediatric conditions. I was able
             to practice hands on paediatric resuscitation skills during the course
             provided this year.
             It was interesting to learn about a variety of paediatric conditions by
             going through a variety of cases while attending several GP education
             days, the 3-day conference and the workshops. The information and
             practical scenarios helped me manage common conditions and critical
             emergency paediatric scenarios during my rotations at the Queensland’s
             Children’s Hospital.
