Alwin Sebastian presenting at Southend GCA workshop on HAS GCA - how good the probability score is and how poor headache and scalp tenderness are - in differentiating GCA from non GCA. ⁦

📣DAY 2 GCA Conference 2022 📣. Great atmosphere and learning opportunities. Faculty and Attendees both creating a great environment of learning. Starting with Alwin Sebastion. Stay tuned to this space to see what everyone has to say about their experience! @profbdasgupta

An important step forward for GCA - nurse specialists learning temporal and axillary artery scans at Southend workshop to assess GCA in the clinic ⁦@PMRGCAuk⁩ ⁦@RheumatologyUK⁩ ⁦@MSE_PtSafety⁩ ⁦

Major step forward for GCA management - nurse specialists doing ultrasound in vasculitis clinics @madelinewhitlo5!

The first hands on Southend GCA ultrasound workshop since pandemic with all Covid security - thanks to UK faculty, delegates-doctors, nurses and especially patients @alwinuk @cmukhtyar @MSEHospitals @AshleySolieri @PMRGCAuk @RheumatologyUK @VanessaQuick3

A novel end-to-end, fast track approach to GCA with US and additional tests- applicable to other conditions as in EIA clinics! Probability-based algorithm using ultrasound and additional tests for suspected GCA in a fast-track clinic rmdopen.bmj.com/content/6/3/e0…

Really pleased with super success of our first virtual GCA ultrasound workshop yesterday attended by 30 delegates across the globe and time zones. The way forward for GCA training and education!
