EpiCARE Case discussions

Case discussions are an integral role of European Reference Networks (ERNs) and are in line with the European Commission’s directive.

EpiCARE Case Discussions are scheduled every 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 4:00pm to 5:30pm CET. Both surgical and non-surgical cases are discussed by panels of experts, full or affiliated members of EpiCARE (see the agenda below).

Cases can only be presented by medical teams (already members or invited by EpiCARE). Respecting EU General Protection Data Regulations (GDPR), participation is strictly reserved to health care professionals that receive a pre-registration link.

Only 2 cases per session can be discussed. Reservations can be made by contacting as early as possible the EpiCARE CPMS Manager: n.lawrence@epi-care.eu. To participate in a case discussion, you need to be an EpiCARE member, create an EU login and request access to CPMS. All is explained in the CPMS user guide. If you are not an EpiCARE member and want to know more information, please contact Helpdesk.

To prepare a case for presentation you need to first download and read the Guidelines and watch the training video below. Here is a guide to help organise meetings on CPMS.
