Overview

The 2021 Scottish Society for Rheumatology (SSR) spring meeting will be a 1-day remote educational event focusing on the field Vasculitis and covering a range of topics from experts in their field.

This event will be a joint SSR and UKIVAS education day and we hope the programme will appeal to trainees, consultants and specialist nurses with an interest in Vasculitis from a range of different specialties, including but not exclusive to, rheumatologists and nephrologists.

The event will be a remote education event facilitated by the RCPE events team, and it will feature pre-recorded sessions from the range of expert speakers with opportunity for live Q&A following each session. There is no registration fee for this event.

We look forward to ‘seeing’ you on the 21st May.
