First Endo-ERN Clinical Exchange program participant has arrived!
The first Endo-ERN participant of this exchange program is Savi Shishkov, an endocrinologist in training at the the "St. Marina" University Hospital, and a assistant in the Department of Internal Medicine of the Medical University in Varna, Bulgaria. He was motivated to apply for this fellowship because of his interest in rare endocrine disease, and expanding the international cooperation between ERN HCPs. He has started his exchange to the Leiden University Medical Center under the supervision of Endo-ERN coordinator prof.dr. A.M. Pereira Arias, and pituitary MTG leader prof.dr. N.R. Biermasz on October 5th. During the four-week program, an insight into the tertiary referral center’s outpatient clinic, including the way of shared decision making, treatment, and outcome evaluation will be offered.

EJP RD – ERN research training workshop
Last week, the two-day hybrid EJP RD – ERN research training workshop was held on September 30th and October 1st, combining real-life, and online participation for the first time. The workshop, organized by prof.dr. Olaf Dekkers of the Leiden University Medical Center, was titled Clinical Research: The Basics & Beyond – Workshop in clinical epidemiological research for ERNs and took place in Leiden, the Netherlands.
As many, if not all, of you are aware of, research on rare conditions can be a great challenge, both from a practical and methodological point of view. Large, collaborative, international datasets and registries are currently being erected for multiple disease groups to counteract the otherwise small study populations. Analyzing, and subsequently drawing conclusions based on these datasets requires knowledge of the appropriate epidemiological techniques. Therefore, this workshop aimed to provide participants with the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to perform clinical epidemiological analyses appropriate for the emerging landscape of European, and ERN based large datasets.
The workshop was opened by Endo-ERN coordinator prof.dr. Alberto Pereira. Four internationally renowned experts in Clinical Epidemiology provided the interactive plenary sessions for the 25 participants (21 individuals participating in real-life, and 4 individuals participating virtually). In the forum part of the workshop, participants could bring their issues and questions regarding their own research projects. Moreover, a great dinner was held in one of Leiden’s oldest restaurants. The organizers feel that the workshop was a great success!
This workshop was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the EJP RD COFUND-EJP N° 825575.

CPMS - Introducing Emily White
“Hi everyone, I am Emily and I am a new project manager with Endo-ERN and I will also be assisting at the Operational Helpdesk. I have just completed my masters in Health and Medical Psychology at Leiden University so I am very excited to be working with the European Reference Networks. I am here to assist you however I can - from logging in to CPMS to creating panels to finalizing outcomes, and everything else in between. Like Danielle before me, I can be contacted at the helpdesk email with any queries (cpmshelpdesk@endo.ern-net.eu).
