|
Until August 2022, healthcare professionals (clinicians, nurses, physiotherapists etc.) affiliated to ERN institutions (Full Members or Affiliated Partners) can receive organizational and financial support for secondments in ERN expert centres other than their home institution, supporting the sharing of knowledge and stimulating collaboration.

EJP RD ERN Research Training Workshop Call
|
The European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) has launched the ERN Research Training Workshops funding opportunity. The goal of the workshops is to train researchers and clinicians affiliated to an ERN - Full Members or Affiliated Partners - in relevant topics on research in rare diseases. Training themes may include innovative research methodologies, diagnostic research methodologies, interdisciplinary treatment approaches, such as gene therapy and transplantation, etc. Moreover, the workshops will be aiming to provide a cross-ERN added value.

CPMS Case discussions jour fix
|
Recently, regular Online Case Discussions were added to the ERN-RND activities. Anyone from the ERN-RND network is welcome to join, contribute to the discussion and learn from the approaches of their colleagues.
These meetings are organized every two months for every disease group, with alternating discussions of either unsolved and complex cases for advice on diagnosis and treatment or presenting the general disease management of ERN-RND centres based on single patient examples.
|
In our second round of discussions in September (and beginning of October) we are looking forward to interesting disease management discussions, starting with a special focus on DBS for dystonia – a highly specialized service within ERN-RND.
|
You would like to contribute with a case to the discussions? Please contact us
