About the symposium
The HGF National School Nurses Endocrine Symposium is centred on education, awareness, and empowerment. The programme is designed to help attendees better understand rare growth, bone, and endocrine disorders, while also supporting earlier recognition, improved referral pathways, and stronger community awareness.
Keeping up with medical breakthroughs can be challenging, especially for rare conditions that general pediatricians and school health professionals may not manage every day. This symposium revisits key topics in pediatric endocrinology and growth-related disorders to help improve care for children who may be at risk.
