Teaching and training at Hospital Clínic

Reading time: 1 min

The Clínic Barcelona has developed various training activities for FASD professionals in collaboration with a number of FASD family associations and the Local Government of Catalonia. It has also developed other training activities with the Andalusian School of Public Health, within the framework of a research project in collaboration with Fundación Aprender (Learning Foundation) in Madrid, funded by Probitas.

An accredited FASD training resource is currently being developed on the web and in the Moddle environment. It is aimed at professionals and the families of children with FASD.

The Clínic has participated in organising the FASD Conference, which has been held four times.

Furthermore, three sets of FASD guidelines have been developed:

  • Families and schools: developed within the framework of a research project funded by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Carlos III Institute of Health) in 2017.
  • Families, schools, healthcare and mental health professionals: developed within the framework of a research project funded by Probitas in 2019.
  • Families, schools and mental health professionals: developed within the framework of a partnership with the Local Government.

The Clínic is one of the partners in the company Psicoterapia VR, established from funding obtained in the MWC initiative, The Collider. The company developed an artificial intelligence-based diagnostic tool for FASD in app format (VisualTEAF). It also used virtual reality to develop a treatment tool (Mental XR) for neurocognitive disorders, including FASD.
