6th International Congress on Spondyloarthopathies
Linda Bradbury
This specialist conference is the major international meeting for Spondyloarthropathies (SpA), and as such is an ideal opportunity to interact with health care professionals involved in a similar role to my own. As a clinically oriented conference, it is also provides a chance to present our own data from the AS clinic, to share ideas and experiences. As the specialist nurse, I see all newly diagnosed patients for education on the disease process and general health issues such as smoking cessation. I also see those patients with established disease to discuss new treatment options which can include teaching drug administration methods. By attending this conference, there will be an opportunity to discuss current opinions on treatments, their expected outcomes and toxicity as well as views on disease outcome measures.
