CPMS CASE DISCUSSIONS

Twitter_ERN_EN_2017_1
„In CPMS, I have contributed on both sides, first as an expert and also by presenting a clinical case. I have already used the previous CPMS, and the new one is more user-friendly. Preparing a clinical case for the current CPMS takes about the same amount of time as for other types of meetings.” – Juan Dario Ortigoza Escobar, Barcelona

Online case discussions jour fix
Recently, regular Online Case Discussions were added to the ERN-RND activities. Any clinician from the ERN-RND network is welcome to join, contribute to the discussion and learn from the approaches of their colleagues.
