How Ready Is Your Agency to Provide Pediatric Care? Build Your Clinicians' Confidence When Treating Children

Hosted by NHTSA’s Office of EMS | A FREE Virtual Event

April 23, 2024, at 1:00 PM ET

The majority of EMS agencies (81%) receive fewer than eight pediatric calls a month. This limited interaction with children results in clinicians being less familiar—and less confident—in providing emergency pediatric care. What is “pediatric readiness?” How do you know if your EMS agency is ready for pediatric patients? What tools are available to help improve your EMS agency’s pediatric readiness? Join this webinar featuring the EMS for Children Program (EMSC) representatives to learn more about the Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Project (PPRP) and the upcoming national readiness assessment.

Join us to learn the most current and leading-edge advances in prehospital, trauma, and critical care. Topics are available for prehospital providers, nurses, and other allied specialties.

Join us for IENA’s Journal Club.

The meeting will be in person before the Chapter 134 meeting or virtual.

You are welcome to sign up to participate or present.

Presentations will be from the Journal of Emergency Nursing.
If you wish to present, you will need to provide the article name and volume/page numbers.
