EULAR PARE Conference

Jo Lowe presenting at EULAR PARE conference

The EULAR PARE Conference is an annual educational and networking event featuring a different topic each year and offering a high-quality programme for the RMD community with keynote speakers, debates and workshops spanning three days. Running from 28-30 November in Brussels, this year’s meeting focussed on the role of patients and patient representatives in rheumatology research.

Jo Lowe, ASIF’s Project Manager, represented ASIF at the conference and took part in several workshops exploring how to involve patients in research, including how to make collaborative research the standard approach and how to work with research consortia.

The workshops provided a fantastic opportunity to better understand barriers and to collectively develop solutions.  The conference also provided valuable information on the EULAR manifesto campaign and advice on submitting abstracts to the annual EULAR congress. During the conference, several sessions were dedicated to Best Practice and Inspiration from the RMD community. These sessions give the opportunity to learn about PARE activities and projects presented by the community.

Patient and patient representatives from around the world presented almost 50 posters showcasing their work.  Jo presented the ASIF poster about developing awareness materials on the ‘signs and symptoms of axSpA’. The winning poster was about a book developed especially for children with RMDs.  The poster titled ‘THE BRAVERY BOOK: Malu’s Fantastic Hats for Dreadfully Annoying Rheumatism Days’ was presented by Caroline Kirsten from the German Rheuma Liga and a member of the Young PARE working group.  You can read more about the book here.
