This introductory course explores the fundamental concepts of immunology and how they relate to rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.
This introductory course is aimed at all professionals working in rheumatology who are new to immunology or are looking for a refresher, including consultants, specialty doctors and trainees, nurses and AHPs.
The programme covers an overview of innate and adaptive immunity, inflammatory arthritis, immunotherapy of inflammatory arthritis, CAR-T therapy, immunology tests, genetic testing and more.
Complimentary additional learning materials have been included to help you get out most of your learning.
Please note that this on-demand course is comprised of recordings from the original live course that ran in June 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.
