CourseThe EPOS BAT Advanced Course on Paediatric Bone & Joint Infection is an advanced clinical training programme organised by the European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society. The course is dedicated to the diagnosis and management of bone and joint infections in children, addressing the specific clinical, biological and diagnostic challenges of the paediatric population.
The programme covers key conditions such as paediatric osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, with emphasis on diagnostic pathways, imaging, antimicrobial treatment strategies and clinical decision-making. Teaching is structured around established algorithms and evidence-informed practice, reflecting differences between paediatric and adult infection management.
This course is intended for orthopaedic surgeons and clinicians involved in paediatric musculoskeletal infection care who are seeking advanced, structured insight rather than introductory teaching or hands-on surgical training.
