Standing Committee of Paediatric Rheumatology

 

The mission of the Paediatric Standing Committee of EULAR is to improve the care for children with rheumatic diseases in Europe. For this mission the standing committee aims to describe the importance of paediatric rheumatic diseases and to publicise this growing field. We are also trying to publicise the importance of rheumatic diseases in children and their impact on the lives of these young individuals, their families and the society and the need for effective management. Recognition as a separate discipline is necessary to address the needs of the field for paediatric rheumatology.

 

Chair: Professor Taunton Southwood, United Kingdom
