Tr@inforPed HIV has been a highly successful training course run by experts from the PENTA network since 2005. The course is designed for all healthcare professionals caring for children living with HIV, including training doctors, nurses, counsellors and psychologists.
Tr@inforPed HIV is unique in its leaning system as it incorporates an e-learning section into the teaching. The e-learning system is a series of modules and clinical cases for the student to go through, and this is brought together during a 3 day residential symposium. In 2008 the course became part of the Oxford Paediatric Infectious Diseases Diploma.
As part of the PENTA LABNET Project training on pharmacokinetics is provided within Tr@inforPed HIV.
The European course takes place each year in October in the beautiful city of Rome, Italy. The course is specific to the needs of western, eastern and central European treatment including topics such as Tuberculosis and Hepatitis co-infection.
Along with our African colleagues, we have developed an African specific Tr@inforPedHIV training course. This course was launched in 2007 in the wonderful country of Cameroon, where the course was translated into French to reach a wider audience. Since, we have run a course in Uganda and more recently in Harare, Zimbabwe and Lusaka, Zambia. In 2008, the course was translated into Spanish for a residential course in San Salvador.
