About IMAGE 2022

This year’s IMAGE Nurses' Knowledge Centre is an invaluable collection of resources focusing on transgender management, calcium and bone disorders, and the genetics and treatment of growth disorders.

Our expert faculty will discuss key issues relating to these topics together with their impact on the clinical responsibilities of paediatric endocrine nurses. Nurse presenters will have a key role, presenting cases and giving talks based on their personal experience. The programme has been designed to include all healthcare professionals and be relevant to their clinical practice.
