SUMMARY:SAM Educational Evening\, 24 September 2026\, online
DESCRIPTION:SAM Educational Evening: The Acute Take: Growing Up with Chroni
 c Disease\nThursday 24 September 2026\n1900-2100hrs\nZoom webinar\n\n2 Cat
 egory 1 (external) CPD credits will be applied for with the Federation of 
 the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom.\nThe webinar is fr
 ee to attend for SAM members. Non-members are required to pay a fee of £1
 5 per webinar.\n\nSession Overview and Learning Objectives\n\nAdvances in 
 paediatric and specialist care mean that more people than ever are living 
 well into adulthood with childhood-onset chronic conditions. As a result\,
  acute care teams increasingly encounter patients whose physiology\, treat
 ments\, communication needs and healthcare journeys differ from the "typic
 al" adult medical patient.\n\nFor many\, an admission to the Acute Medical
  Unit is one of their first encounters with adult acute healthcare\, makin
 g it essential that acute clinicians understand the challenges of transiti
 on and adapt their approach to meet individual patient needs.\n\nThe chall
 enge is not becoming an expert in every rare condition. It is recognising 
 when our usual approach needs to adapt.\n\nUsing three contrasting but com
 plementary examples\, this webinar explores how altered physiology\, advan
 ced therapies and medical technology\, and communication needs influence t
 he care of adults living with lifelong conditions in the acute setting.\n\
 nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to:\n\n- Recognise
  the increasing number of adults living with childhood-onset chronic condi
 tions presenting to acute medical services.\n- Describe how altered physio
 logy\, advanced therapies and medical technologies\, and communication nee
 ds may require adaptation of the usual acute medical approach.\n- Identify
  practical approaches to the assessment and management of adults with cong
 enital heart disease\, diabetes technology and learning disabilities in th
 e acute setting.\n- Recognise when specialist advice and multidisciplinary
  working are required to optimise patient care.\n- Apply principles of per
 sonalised\, patient-centred care to improve outcomes for adults living wit
 h lifelong conditions.\n\nMore information and Register here
