The Cureskills academy has skilfully conceived, developed the Rheumatology Postgraduate Programme to excel the knowledge and the combined effort guarantees that the curriculum is tailored to the specific needs of health professionals who diagnose and treat inflammatory (rheumatic) disease, while also being practical, flexible, and clinically focused.

Conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoporosis create a huge socioeconomic burden of disease and disability. Identifying high-risk groups in primary care and using preventative treatment can result in a substantial reduction in morbidity and mortality. Our experts can help by presenting a unified lifestyle message, advising on fall prevention, and providing effective treatment.

The course provides information on signs, symptoms, and treatments for the most common forms of rheumatic disease, and addresses key areas such as pain management, psychosocial challenges, rehabilitation, and self-management support strategies.  This course is also useful for experienced rheumatology professionals looking for a refresher on these key areas of practice.

Learning outcomes of the programme will be as follows:

• Apply evidence-based rheumatological knowledge to relevant clinical situations with people who have rheumatic diseases
• Describe at least one non-pharmacological intervention useful in the treatment of people with rheumatic diseases
• Identify at least one situation where collaboration with other members of the healthcare team is important to improve patient outcomes
