Next Course in 2025  

This is a course which will take place in Valencia, Spain, from Friday, 21 March 2025 - Saturday, 22 March 2025. 

Course description

This is a 1.5-day course for Health Professionals in Rheumatology (HPR) on the basic management of common rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions (RMDs). taught by selected faculty of European experts in a very interactive and cordial environment. The course will focus on knowledge and skills most relevant for HPRs' daily practice. Participants have the opportunity to meet experts in an informal setting and network with other HPR with different professional backgrounds and career pathways. 

Learning objectives 

• Gain up-to-date knowledge on the management of pain, fatigue, physical activity, and telecare interventions in rheumatology, particularly for conditions like RA, OA, and others.
• Acquire practical skills in assessing and managing fracture risk, cardiovascular health, and physical function in patients with RMDs.
• Understand and apply interdisciplinary approaches, including rehabilitation and first-line mental health support for patients and colleagues.
• Enhance competence in both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for pain management and wound care.
• Develop familiarity with the development of innovative care models using the Medical Research Council’s framework for Complex Interventions, such as the development of a new nurse-led interdisciplinary self-management intervention (INSELMA).
• Engage in clinical case discussions to apply learned principles to complex, real-world scenarios, reinforcing collaborative, patient-centered care approaches.
