PentaTr@ining: sharing knowledge
‘PentaTr@ining 2022’ builds on the success of previous ‘Tr@inforPedHIV’ courses and now includes congenital infections. The online modules are highly interactive and focus on case based teaching.
More InfoThe face to face workshops embrace a true collegiate spirit – maximising teacher/student interaction, encouraging delegates to be proactive participants and consolidating the knowledge acquired during the online course.
More InfoPenta is now actively engaged in clinical research in a variety of paediatric infectious diseases. We are currently developing other new, innovative training programmes to reflect this!
More InfoPentaTr@ining (formerly ‘Tr@inforPedHIV’) started for the first time in 2005, in the framework of the partnership between Penta and the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID). It is a training programme for healthcare professionals caring for children, adolescents and pregnant women living with HIV and congenital infections.
PentaTr@ining is unique in its learning system as it incorporates an e-learning section into the teaching. At the beginning, the course was designed to address topics related to the treatment of children with HIV/AIDS in Western and
Eastern Europe, but the great success of the first experiences led the organisers to readapt and export it also to low and middle income countries, in a variety of international settings including Africa, Asia and Latin America.
This has given the chance to many more clinicians and healthcare professionals to meet, share knowledge and benefit from this experience.
Since 2008 it has been part of the Oxford Paediatric Infectious Diseases Diploma.
