DESCRIPTION

The Type 1 Center of Reference Optimize courses are organized for both adult and paediatric care. The aim is to elevate SAP delivery and centre efficiency to the level of reference through international best practice sharing and expert consultancy. 

The starting point for each of these courses is the importance of the multidisciplinary team approach in the treatment of your patients.  Not only will you be challenged in the optimal SAP use by the analysis of multiple case studies during small group work, the philosophy of whole integrated care approach is common to all of these leading host centres.  Psychological aspects of education come more and more to the forefront.
