POEMS – Positive Outcome Experience Management Strategies
POEMS For Children is UK based charity set up with the aim to train professionals to manage anxious children more effectively.
Training is designed to help you understand, reduce or completely avoid anxiety in children undergoing medical procedures.
Reducing anxiety at the time of medical intervention has been linked with a reduction in both the short and long term signs and symptoms of psychological morbidity children develop after their procedure.
Poems Course
The dedicated team offers an accredited course to help healthcare professionals managing anxiety in children.
During our one-day course, they teach strategies to reduce or prevent anxiety in children who need medical intervention. In addition to the scientific evidence, they also share our stories and experiences in dealing with anxious patients whose minds are full of fears.
It is without doubt that a team of trained practitioners utilising the techniques introduced on the course will dramatically reduce the prevalence and degree of general and procedure-related anxiety in children undergoing medical interventions. This will also lead to a reduction in the consequent morbidity experienced by these children and a global improvement in patient experience.
