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.

Programme:

Please view the online programme here.

Registration:

The Training Course will be held during the Pre-Congress Day of the ECTS 2022 Annual Congress.

Registrations are available here, please select “Pre-Congress Day” in the registration process.

You can register in conjunction or separately from the ECTS 2022 Congress.

Costs:

  • € 150,00 for ECTS Members
  • € 200,00 for non Members
  • € 100,00 in combination with ECTS 2022 congress registration

Registration to the Pre-Congress day will give you access to all other sessions of the day, with the exception of the Open Fora.

Mellanby Centre – ECTS Training Course: Identification of Vertebral Fractures

Course overview:

Up to one in five older people will have a vertebral fracture, but most are unaware of this. Such fractures can be diagnosed by spinal radiographs but more recently, the bone densitometer has been used for this purpose: vertebral fracture assessment. The use of this technique is increasing worldwide; this course aims to give a basic training on the identification of vertebral fractures.

Target audience:

This day-long course is open to clinicians, scan technicians and nurses involved in developing and delivering fracture risk assessment services.

Objectives:

At the end of the course, participants should:

  • understand the importance of vertebral fracture identification
  • understand the principles of good quality image acquisition
  • be aware of the different methods used to identify vertebral fracture
  • recognise non-fracture vertebral deformities
  • recognise the clinical features of vertebral fracture

Programme:

The training course will be held within the ECTS 2021 Digital Congress Programme.
