In line with our initiative to spread the word about early diagnosis and referrals to paediatric rheumatology experts, our committee has organised an exciting platform for patients, parents and family members affected by paediatric rheumatic diseases to connect with an international panel of paediatric rheumatology experts through round table discussions.  

We welcome all patients, parents, and family members affected by paediatric rheumatic diseases to submit their questions in advance to lead the discussions. This way, we hope to address important questions and concerns across our communities.
