An interdisciplinary conference for cardiologists, dermatologists, nephrologists, pulmonologists and rheumatologists

 

Following the successful experience of the 1st World Congress in Florence, the second congress will focus on clinical and translational aspects of Systemic Sclerosis with the aim of updating clinicians involved in the field. Based on the feedback from the participants in the 1st congress, more time will be devoted to areas such as clinical problem solving, young investigator activities and networking between health professionals and patients.

 

Our nurse, Barbara Gemmell will be speaking at the patient conference.

Ulcer Treatment Questionnaire

Scleroderma Australia is concerned about the cost of dressings for scleroderma patients, many of whom have chronic skin conditions. Therefore the association would like to petition the Federal Government to consider either subsidization or reimbursement for ulcer treatments and dressings. To do this we need more information on the type of dressings patients use, how often you use them and how much it costs you. Please take a few minutes to fill in the following questionnaire so that we can take action on this issue.
