We are extending a cordial invitation to our European Conference “Health and education outcomes of children across Europe with congenital anomalies” to be held from April 7-8, 2022.

The conference welcomes healthcare professionals, academic researchers, educators, leaders in healthcare and education, students, parents and carers, and any others who work or are interested in the field of congenital anomalies.

The Conference aims to disseminate EUROlinkCAT results, discuss them in the context of related research and to agree a set of recommendations for the medical care and education of children with congenital anomalies.

The Conference covers the following topics:

• Epidemiology
• Prenatal diagnosis
• Survival and morbidity outcomes
• Medical care
• Schooling and education outcomes
• The experiences of parents and carers
• The role of patient and parent associations

The conference will include plenary lectures and panel discussions with experts in the field. A poster session will also be an important part of the Conference.

We welcome the participation of students in the Student Poster Session, for which awards will be given.

The official language of the Conference is English. We will provide a simultaneous translation of lectures, presentations, and discussions from English to Polish and from Polish to English. In addition to the European EUROlinkCAT Conference, two satellite conferences (in Polish) will be organised by parent associations. This reflects a key ethos of the EUROlinkCAT Project which is to support communication and foster positive relationships between healthcare professionals, researchers and parents - to improve the medical care and education of children with congenital anomalies.
