We are delighted to share the Springer Healthcare IME virtual meeting, entitled Insights into MAnaging Growth for Endocrine Nurses (IMAGE). This was the 7th IMAGE conference which focuses on dysmorphic and genetic short stature syndromes and transitional care.
Owing to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s meeting was fully virtual. Registration will allow access to our meeting website, where you can watch video presentations, meet the experts, and take an interactive quiz.
This continuing education activity has been approved by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) for the award of 4 International Continuing Nursing Education Credits (ICNECs).
This programme is made possible thanks to an educational grant received from: Merck Healthcare KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
