About this workshop

POTS and other dysautonomia’s are complex health conditions, and are often associated with other health conditions, and have significant morbidity. Frequency is increasing, probably due to both increased incidence related to Covid and increased recognition. They were not covered by most of us at medical school! In this interactive workshop you will engage with expert paediatric cardiologists, paediatricians and patients by videos, to learn about presentations, diagnosis and how to safely initiate management yourself of POTS and common co-morbidities in children and young people, and when to refer on. 
We will provide resources and introduction to Dr Lesley Kavi POTS UK charity chair.
