WHERE DERMATOLOGY MEETS RHEUMATOLOGY AND MUSCULO-SKELETAL

 

This event has now taken place and the recording is now available to watch HERE

Following on from the hugely successful ‘Where Dermatology Meets’ conference last year, the Primary Care Dermatology Society (PCDS) joined forces with the Primary Care Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Medicine Society (PCRMM) to deliver an exclusive dual specialty conference for all members of the Primary Healthcare team.

The meeting focussed on important and common conditions seen in Primary Care in which there is crossover between dermatology and rheumatology.

Key topics include:

  • Pearls for the diagnosis and initial management of connective tissue disorders, including getting a better
    understanding of autoantibodies
  • Odd looking hands
  • Psoriasis as a multisystem disorder
  • Spondyloarthropathies & Gout
  • Osteoporosis
  • Recognising skin cancer in day to day practice

Our highly acclaimed speakers work at the forefront of Dermatology, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Medicine at the primary and secondary care interface.
