Session information: Many trainees and colleagues have limited exposure to the provision of endocrine care in adolescents and young adults. The post-clinic meeting provides invaluable learning, so using this format, the webinar will be a series of case discussions highlighting key aspects of childhood endocrine conditions, endocrine presentations in adolescence, transition and working effectively with young people.

This webinar has been supported, without any involvement in the content or speaker fees, by financial funding to the Society for Endocrinology from Sandoz company.
Society members work together to advance clinical practice in endocrinology, by developing guidance on the diagnosis and management of hormone-related conditions and contributing to UK-wide research projects among other activities. Our work sets the highest standards in endocrine care.
Attracting early-career scientists, doctors and nurses into endocrinology and encouraging them to specialise and remain in the field is our top priority. The Society for Endocrinology offers education, training and career development opportunities whether you are starting out in the field or at its leading edge.
