How can this event help me?
Reaching a clear diagnosis in rheumatology is not always a straightforward process, and for those of you experiencing ongoing symptoms, we appreciate that this can be really frustrating.
Some conditions take time to become clearer as symptoms evolve, patterns emerge, and a fuller picture develops over time. This session aims to bring some clarity to that process, so you feel more informed and supported at every stage of your care. In this BJC Connect event, Rheumatologist Dr Ilana Ginges will walk you through how rheumatological conditions are assessed and monitored over time, helping you understand what is happening at each stage and why.
In this session, you will learn:
Why diagnosis in rheumatology can take time: learn how symptoms, blood tests, imaging, and clinical findings are brought together gradually, and why this process leads to a more accurate and complete picture
How your symptoms are tracked and reviewed: the way rheumatologists monitor changes across appointments, and how shifts in pain, stiffness, or inflammation can become important clues in shaping your care
What active care looks like before a diagnosis is confirmed: how your management remains structured and purposeful even while things are still becoming clearer
How treatment and monitoring are used to support you: the way symptom management is adjusted based on how you are progressing and what you are experiencing day to day
What shapes the next steps in your care: the factors that inform future decisions, including treatment responses, symptom changes, and findings across ongoing appointments
Join us on Wednesday, November 11th at 8:00 PM AEST for this informative live online event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
