CATS organise several regional study days and courses throughout the year, and during the pandemic we are running free webinars (hosted on Zoom). Anyone involved in the management of sick children, including nursing staff, paediatricians, ODPs, emergency physicians and anaesthetists are welcome. We are keen for the most junior through to the most senior staff to attend.

CATS staff teach on and help organise this hybrid paediatric course aimed at paediatric trainees about to or recently started in PICU, paediatric & adult emergency trainees, adult ICU-anaesthesia trainees/specialists, and experienced PICU and A&E nurses.
