Motivated clinicians and nurses sought: ESPE Clinical Practice Committee

The Clinical Practice Committee (CPC) is seeking applications from clinical paediatric endocrinologists and nurses at ANY stage of their career, for three vacancies on the CPC. Interest from Working Group members would be very welcome and please note that one vacancy requires a candidate with a specific interest in diabetes.

The remit includes overseeing aspects of clinical governance, guideline development and setting standards of endocrine care. Planning and running consensus meetings is an important role for the CPC. The CPC is also responsible for planning the 'Meet the Expert' sessions at the annual meeting in conjunction with the Programme Organising Committee, and the clinical practice pages in Hormone Research in Paediatrics. The provision and update of information for patients and parents about endocrine conditions is an exciting ongoing project (see current ESPE website patient/pages).

Commitment includes one face to face meeting, usually at the ESPE annual meeting; teleconferences 2-3 times yearly; and work/email communication in between.

Further information about these vacancies can be obtained from the CPC Chairman, Professor Gary Butler at: [email protected]. Applications should be submitted to the ESPE secretariat by 1 February 2014.
