Acute ophthalmology is organized by Eyecademy and will be held from Dec 03 - 04, 2020 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Malmo, Malmo, Scania, Sweden. Target Audience: AT doctor, Doctor in specialist training / ST, Completed specialists (Continuing education) Description: According to the National Board of Health and Welfare's regulations, emergency physicians must be able to "handle all acute illnesses and accidents, at all ages, for a limited time and with available resources". In addition, it must be possible to "evaluate the risk versus the benefit of different treatment alternatives from a medical, logistical and ethical perspective and from a patient safety perspective". Around the country, it is often emergency doctors who make the primary assessment of eye cases in the evening and on weekends, as most hospitals do not have an eye service during these times. This places special demands on the emergency physician's ability to handle acute ophthalmological cases according to the above guidelines. Overall goals: • Better medical care of eye patients in an emergency department • Fewer and more adequate referrals to a specialist unit 3. Greater security to handle the acuity of this patient group and initiate treatment of the most acute conditions. Be able to evaluate ophthalmological findings as a suspected part of systemic disease Results for the participant: The course is based on SWESEM's education committee's guidelines for "acute ophthalmology". The ambition is that the theoretical and practical knowledge goals that are sought will be achieved to a large extent in this course. In other respects, the course aims to give the participant: • Increased theoretical knowledge goals in ophthalmology • Practical skills in ophthalmological examination technique adequate in an emergency room • Greater security in handling an emergency eye patient • More adequate referrals and better communication with the right terminology with eye contact Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Brain metastasis in lung cancer is organized by Physicians' Institute for Professional Development in Healthcare Lakarnas institut for professionell utveckling i sjukvarden (LIPUS) and will be held on Dec 04, 2020 at Lundqvist & Lindqvist KLARA STRAND, Stockholm, Sweden. Target Audience: Doctors in specialist training / ST, Completed specialists (Continuing education) Description: Treatment of brain metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a complex clinical problem. Whole-brain irradiation is of limited benefit and can lead to serious side effects. Stereotactic steel therapy also has limited benefit but may be relevant in patients with a few brain metastases. Surgery, with its attendant risk of complications, only applies to a small group of patients. Targeted therapies for oncogenically driven tumors, on the other hand, have been shown to be effective against brain metastases, but therapy resistance is a common problem in these cases. Overall goals: In this national course on brain metastatic NSCLC, we will summarize and discuss available treatment options for brain metastatic NSCLC. Our goal is to guide clinicians in decision-making of treatment for this difficult patient group Results for the participant: The aim of the course is to give the participant a good guide on how each lung cancer patient with brain metastases should be treated in the best evidence-based way and adapted to the patient's disease situation. Therefore, the course program has the structure that all possible treatment steps are presented and discussed. Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Introductory course in medical science and quality work Q1 2021 is organized by Region Skane and will be held from Jan 25 - Feb 18, 2021 at CRC - Clinical Research Center, Malmo, Skane, Sweden. Target Audience: Doctor under specialist training / ST  Description: The course, which is given on behalf of Region Skåne, provides knowledge relevant to the compulsory scientific work / quality work within the new specialist service and can hopefully also inspire further research. Future specialist doctors must have sufficient knowledge to be able to meet the need for evidence-based, modern healthcare in rapid development. They must also be able to be a driving force in the local quality development and R&D work. Overall goals: The education provides basic knowledge about medical research and quality work. Participants are introduced to topics such as science theory, epidemiology, statistics, study design, ethics and implementation. At the end of the course, all participants must have completed a project plan for the individual work according to scientific principles / quality work. The goal is to provide participants with a medical scientific approach and approach, as well as research and quality methodological tools that will be necessary for the specialist doctors of the future at health centers and hospitals. Results for the participant: Knowledga and Understanding At the end of the course the course participant must know: -the basics of scientific theory • scientific methods in medical research • common biostatistic concepts • examples of different qualitative methods • examples of questions that are suitable to answer with qualitative method • the meaning of GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations) • how to identify PICO * terms relevant to a specific research question -common structure on a scientific report / article • the basics of improvement knowledge including some tools and prerequisites for implementation Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Tumor orthopedics Course is organized by Karolinska Institute and will be held from Jan 27 - 29, 2021 at Karolinska University Hospital, Solna, Stockholm, Sweden. Start date: 27 January 2021 End date: 29 January 2021 Need Description: Benign tumors of the skeleton and soft tissues are relatively common. As an orthopedist, it is important to be able to diagnose these and have knowledge of who requires treatment, which is usually done at an orthopedic tumor center. Sarcomas are very uncommon and differential diagnosis against other more common orthopedic disorders is sometimes difficult. It is important to know the symptoms and investigation and get guidelines on which findings cause referral to the tumor orthopedic center for diagnosis and treatment. These patients are often subjected to advanced reconstructions, which can also sometimes be applied to more common orthopedic conditions such as advanced prosthetic loosening and common joint fractures. It is therefore valuable for orthopedists to know the indications and complications of such special prostheses. Palliative orthopedic surgery for skeletal metastasis is increasingly in demand due to increased prevalence of cancer patients and increased opportunity for good surgical palliation despite advanced skeletal destruction. It is important that orthopedists are aware of the indications for surgery for pathological fractures and for paralysis due to vertebral metastases so that these patients really get relief. Many of these patients can be operated on in non-specialized clinics and here orthopedists must have knowledge of reconstruction methods. Course Objectives: Overall goals: • Gain knowledge about symptoms, diagnostics and treatment of patients with primary tumors in the musculoskeletal system as well as knowledge about treatment and complications. • Gain knowledge about skeletal metastasis, its investigation and indications for different types of palliative measures and then mainly orthopedic surgery. Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
