Every year, EULAR grants a set amount to its knowledge transfer programme. The programme is designed to support patient organisations that wish to further develop their skillset through applying lessons learned by other organisations in the EULAR network.

This knowledge transfer is mainly done through visiting an organisation in another country. The programme is open to EULAR member organisations of PARE, and to organisations with co-opted delegates in the Standing Committee of PARE.

The total amount available for this programme is EUR 15,000.00.

Organisations are asked to develop and submit project ideas that will contribute to the development of professional capabilities within the organisation itself.

The organisation is required to describe their ideas in detail in the application form. In order to share their findings, EULAR expects recipient organisations of a grant to provide a report after the stay, focusing on the results achieved.

To apply, send your completed application documents to the EULAR Secretariat by 10 November 2018 (23:59 CET) to alzbeta.goehmann@eular.org

For any questions regarding your project, or for help with filling in the application forms, please contact Alzbeta Göhmann at the EULAR Secretariat.

EULAR offers help to find a suitable partner organisation based on a short description of need, consultation on ideas and a webinar on how to apply for the Knowledge transfer programme on Monday, 15 October 2018 from 19:00 to 20:00 CET. You have to register for this webinar by 4 October 2018.

✅ When doctors recommend a tool, it is because they see how it can support real conversations in the clinic.

👩‍⚕️ In this video, Dr Sarah Dyball introduces the Lupus Consultation Cards.

🤝 These cards were created through collaboration between doctors and patients to help people living with lupus 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

They can support patients in:
✔️ organising what they want to discuss
✔️ identifying their main concerns
✔️ preparing their top questions
✔️ making the consultation more focused

😃 For doctors, the cards can help them understand faster what matters most to the person in front of them.

💜 A simple tool. A better consultation.

🦋 #Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that can affect different parts of the body, including the joints.

💜 Today is World Aimmune Autoinflammatory Arthritis Day, also known as #AiArthritisDay.
It is a day to raise awareness of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, such as lupus, that can involve joint inflammation.

❌ But lupus is not “just joint pain”.

‼️ Lupus can affect the whole body. That’s why it is important that symptoms such as pain, fatigue, swelling, stiffness, and their impact on daily life are discussed clearly during medical appointments.

💬 To help with these conversations, take a look at the 𝗟𝘂𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀: a practical tool to help people living with lupus prepare for appointments and explain what matters most to them.

Inspired by NVLE and in collaboration with ERN RECONNET, these cards are available in 19 languages (more to come!).

🗨️ Lupus affects men, too! And its impact can be different from women’s, both physically and mentally.

‼️ From symptoms to how it is experienced and expressed, men living with lupus may face challenges that are not always recognised or addressed in consultation.

💁‍♂️ That's why we have created the Lupus Consultation Cards adapted for men: designed to help prepare for consultations, prioritise concerns, and make sure what matters most is addressed.
