So thrilled to have bumped into our very own RCP president @Mumtaz_Patel_1 at the KAP/ECSACOP conference in Kenya! Her significant contributions to advancing @ecsacop ECSACOPs postgraduate medical training programme across Sub Saharan Africa has been thoroughly inspirational! – at Mombasa, Kenya
Day 2 of the #ARSK2025 conference kicked off with fantastic informative interdisciplinary sessions all round 👏
Great session @LupusCongress on the future of drug trial design. Future clinical trials should prioritise improving global patient inclusiveness by actively addressing the underrepresentation of diverse populations, particularly those from LMICs and marginalised communities
It was a lovely way to wrap up the year attending a get together with some of our lupus warriors and patient group leaders at Arboretum Nairobi. #Create Lupus awareness in Kenya#
Priviledged to attend the SLICC annual meeting, excellent session showcasing successful initiatives in Africa and Latin America that highlight SLICC's commitment to global partnerships. – at Washington, DC

#EULAR2024 OP0149 When the Doctor says YES but the patients say NO. Data from UK BILAG-BR in moderate to severe #lupus showed ~half patients who met clinical response did not improve their psychological wellbeing. Factors of discordant: ancestry, damage, SLEDAI-2K @RheumNow

Fantastic presentation from @MiaRodziewicz using BILAG-BR data:
⭐️NPSLE had higher damage / disease activity
