Webinar Patient Registries Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus
Description
The International Federation for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (IF) in collaboration with the Associazione Spina Bifida Italia (ASBI), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the Italian Ministry invite you to join us during the online webinar titled “Patient Registries for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus”.
When? June 16th from 9.15am to 12.15pm (CEST – time zone Brussels)
Where? Online, Zoom Webinar
Who can join? Registration is open to everybody who is willing to learn more on patient registries, in particular for rare disorders such as Spina Bifida
Patient registries can significantly contribute to enhancing existing knowledge and characterization of individuals with Spina Bifida and or Hydrocephalus. Patient registries moreover provide an important source of data for surveillance which can also inform scientific, clinical, and policy.
Besides our current understanding on the important topic of patient data, it is also meaningful to take into account possible factors prohibiting effective integrative approaches on national level. Analyzing interactions between science, practice, and policy is therefore of utmost importance.
On a European level, joint action plans have been carried out to develop partnerships and strengthen infrastructures to improve multidisciplinary healthcare, evidence-based management and collection of secure patient data.
For this event we have invited special speakers for you including: Dr. Domenica Taruscio and Dr. Tiziana Grassi from the Italian National Center for Rare Disease. Moreover, invited guests from the Italian Ministry, the European Medicines Agency, and EUROlinkCAT will share their perspectives on the important role of patient registries. Last but not least, a special highlight of the webinar will include the official launch of the first national patient registry for Spina Bifida in Italy! We therefore invite you to join us during the online webinar!
