This course is aimed at rheumatology consultants and trainees, rheumatology nurse specialists and other allied health professionals.

The sessions are case-based and provide a pragmatic guide on how to approach this complex group of autoimmune multisystem disorders. For each disease area, you will have the opportunity to explore:


  • Diagnosis, assessment and monitoring of conditions
  • Multisystem management and escalation
  • Case presentations – examples from real-life patients

After attending this course, delegates will be fully up to date regarding current treatment guidelines, and confident to address the needs of their patients.

Please note that this on-demand course is comprised of recordings from the original live course that ran in May 2024. The course content has been reviewed to ensure that it is still up to date and clinically relevant, however there are references to the live event and on-demand learners will not be able to participate in polls.

As a fully on-demand course, learners will be able to watch and review the course videos at their own pace



Learning objectives

Delegates will: 

  • Gain knowledge and develop a robust approach in diagnosing and assessing the multisystem clinical presentations of vasculitides (ANCA vasculitis, Large vessel vasculitis, Behcet's syndrome)
  • Receive an evidence-based overview of multi-system management of vasculitides
  • Understand better how to monitor disease activity in vasculitides and what issues to look out for during longer-term follow-up
  • Gain an insight into how to set up vasculitis specialist services and how to use the wider MDT in vasculitis care

Previous attendees said:
“The case-based learning and practical insights provided by the expert speakers were particularly valuable, as they helped bridge the gap between theory and real-world clinical application.”

“The opportunity to review challenging cases and the emphasis on early detection and management of these complex conditions will significantly enhance my clinical decision-making and patient care.”

“I have learned the thought process while approaching complex cases during case discussions. This will help us in the management of cases in a day to day basis.”

“[I benefitted from] Learning from the expertise and many years of specialist experience as many of us will only see these conditions infrequently.”
