Programme Information and Educational Aims
This is a short one day course for clinical practitioners, intended to complement the scientific programme at the annual PReS Congress. The course will be held 09.00-16.00 Sunday 14th September and will preceded the keynote speech and opening ceremony of the PReS Congress that evening.

The format is composed of lectures and case discussions. There are 3 topics: juvenile systemic lupus erythematosis, juvenile dermatomyositis, and methotrexate in paediatric rheumatology. The aim is to provide fundamental information on the diseases, as well as clinical practice. It should be suitable for trainees as well as physicians that do not see these clinical problems very often.
