What is your budget for training?
PWSA UK offers a range of training and consultancy services to suit your needs. All our in-house training and information can be tailored to meet your particular circumstances.
We provide guidance and support to anyone working with a person with Prader-Willi Syndrome. However, as a self-funding small charity - and the only one working to help people with PWS in the UK - we need to cover our costs by making a nominal charge for our services in order to enable us to continue our work.
The following questions might help you to decide which level of training you require:
Training Options
