PhD Training Course 2022
This prestigious PhD Training Course, aimed at promoting general knowledge of bone research to young investigators, is now in its 15th year and has been hailed as one of the most innovative and successful courses in the bone field.
The course starts with an “introductory session” where key topics relevant to skeletal research are covered, followed by a varied programme that incorporates clinical and basic topics with a mix of speakers with clinical or basic science backgrounds. An example of the topics likely to be included in the programme is provided below. One of the important aspects of the course is the opportunity for students to network and obtain feedback on their project. Student presentations include poster and short presentations of their PhD project as well as networking sessions with invited speakers. The course has been of immense value to previous participants, and the networks that form during these events help to sustain the musculoskeletal field in Europe into the future.

ECTS-Mellanby Training Course Diagnostic Tests for Osteoporosis – Clinical Use of Bone Turnover Markers
VIEW THE PROGRAMME | REGISTER HERE |
Course overview:
Bone Turnover Markers (BTM) have long been used as diagnostic tests for metabolic bone diseases. In the past 20 years, markers that are more specific to bone have been introduced and have been found to be useful in osteoporosis, particularly for monitoring treatment. This course aims to provide a background to the clinical use of bone turnover markers.
Target audience:
This day-long course is open to clinicians (e.g. endocrinology, rheumatology, care of the elderly and clinical chemistry), laboratory scientists and nurses involved in the clinical management of patients at risk of osteoporotic fractures.
Objectives:
At the end of the course, participants should:
- understand the process of bone remodelling and how this can be studied using BTM
- appreciate the methods used for measuring BTM and their sources of variability
- be able to identify the role of BTM in the diagnosis and monitoring of bone diseases in a number of clinical settings including; osteoporosis, chronic kidney disease, Paget’s disease, osteomalacia, and GIOP
- be familiar with best practice in the clinical use of BTM
CME Accreditation:
An application will be made to the UEMS EACCME® for CME accreditation of the event.
