GENERAL INFORMATION
On behalf of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), we are very pleased to invite you to the Joint Educational Meeting of the Autoimmune Diseases (AD) and the Severe Aplastic Anaemia (SAA) Working Parties in Florence.
Following the success of previous Joint Educational Meetings, the program has been designed to cover the main aspects of pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy of both autoimmune disorders and bone marrow failure syndromes, including the role of HSCT. This meeting will have a unique format, including a joint session between both Working Parties, as well as debates on areas of controversy and uncertainty between experts in their field.
There will be also be contributions from the EBMT Nurses Group, and all professionals working in HSCT are welcomed.
The program will consist of three Educational Days: one for autoimmune diseases, another for aplastic anaemia and other bone marrow failure syndromes, with a joint session in the middle. The early morning of the second day will be spent on Working Party Business Meetings, during which relevant ongoing studies and new projects will be discussed. The Business Meetings are open to all participants who wish to be informed or play an active role in the Working Parties. In keeping with the scientific and educational scope of the Working Parties, the meeting will give participants the chance to interact with experts during the sessions and social events.
The stimulating meeting will bring together the world’s leading experts, actively contributing to the evidence base and professional guidelines in these fields of HSCT practice.
We look forward to seeing you in Florence for this unique and exciting course from the EBMT Autoimmune Diseases and Severe Aplastic Anaemia Working Parties!
