PARTNER ORGANISATIONS

EBC Logo 2013
EBC Value of treatment project has released results and calls to action.
Focused on rare neurological diseases and neurometabolic disorders Ataxia, Dystonia and Phenylketonuria, the study looked at early intervention and explored the benefits of coordinated care through the examination of health services, multidisciplinary care patterns (also addressing comorbidity), patient outcomes and costs. Results provide insight on the value of specialist centres for ataxia and dystonia and metabolic care units for phenylketonuria in terms of diagnosis, management of patients with rare conditions. Results are now available from the individual working groups, accompanied by a Call to Action for a renewed EU Action Plan on Rare Diseases targeting unmet needs.
MOOC-4-e1647861711887-1086x1536
The third run of the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) “Diagnosing Rare Diseases: from the Clinic to Research and back” co-developed by the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases, ERN Ithaca, ERN Genturis and the Foundation for Rare Diseases will start on April 18th.
EACD RehaTech4Child Survey promo1a
The European Academy of Childhood Disability (EACD) would kindly like to invite professionals across Europe to participate in the RehaTech4Child Survey! The aim of the RehaTech4Child survey is to identify the digital technologies (e.g., robotic devices and treadmill systems, virtual reality and gaming systems, telehealth) that are used in clinical practices throughout Europe, and to know more about how rehabilitation professionals use or not use digital technologies in motor rehabilitation practices within the paediatric population. This knowledge would eventually help in designing the future technological developments based on the feedback from rehabilitation professionals. To identify today what is needed to create a better tomorrow for people with a childhood-onset disability and their families.
