Goldfields Health Professionals Network | Workshop | Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome | Kalgoorlie

Access to timely, appropriate care is a major challenge for people living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and hypermobility, with limited clinician awareness and high demand leaving many patients unable to access support when they need it most. This practical workshop, delivered by Nicole Pates from Western Kids Health, is designed for therapists, GPs, and health professionals to build confidence in recognising, assessing, and managing these conditions, helping expand local capability, improve access to care, and support better patient outcomes.
