About this event
- Date and time Wed 24 Feb 2021 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm
- Location Online
- Organised by Medical Genetics
Medics 4 Rare Diseases and the RSM bring together a faculty of top speakers to explore how rare diseases are relevant in everyday clinical medicine.
This online meeting is the only one of its kind specifically targeting medical professionals to teach them about the broad concepts of rare disease and offering pragmatic advice about how to diagnose and manage them in everyday medicine. Broader coverage of rare diseases is minimal. This is despite 3.5 million people in the UK living with a rare disease - making rare diseases collectively common. The rare disease and genomic field is changing rapidly and continuing medical education is desperately needed in order to make full use of new innovation and therapies.
At this unique meeting, we will hear from patients and advocates as well as doctors in order to inclusively hear from all perspectives of the rare disease specialty.
Learning objectives:
- Understand that rare diseases are collectively common
- Appreciate the common challenges that people with rare disease face in the journey to diagnosis and beyond
- Value the lived experience that expert patients can share with you in order to improve their care
- Promote the work of M4RD and the role of the Medical Genetics Section
