Join us for this Virtual CPD session on Wednesday, 23 September, with Dr Kaushik Sanyal, Consultant Rheumatologist, for an evening of expert-led education and discussion focused on Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) and Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA).

Designed for GPs and primary care clinicians, this interactive session will explore the recognition, diagnosis and management of these closely related inflammatory conditions, with a particular focus on the challenges faced in everyday clinical practice. Attendees will gain practical insights into identifying key symptoms, recognising red flags that require urgent action, and understanding current treatment and referral pathways.

The programme will include specialist-led presentations covering the clinical features of PMR and GCA, differential diagnosis, investigation strategies, and best-practice management to help improve patient outcomes.

The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, offering attendees the opportunity to discuss clinical challenges and put questions directly to our rheumatology specialist.

This event offers valuable learning in a convenient virtual format and is tailored for UK healthcare professionals with an interest in primary care, rheumatology and the early diagnosis of inflammatory conditions.
