Paediatric Bone Update
Fri 20 - Sat 21 October 2006
Brisbane, Queensland
In keeping with the emergence of secondary osteoporosis as a major paediatric health issue, the focus of the Update will shift from that of our previous meetings to concentrate on secondary osteoporosis in children and adolescents.
The Update will be clinically based and address all aspects of secondary paediatric osteoporosis including aetiology, diagnosis and management. Other topics that will be addressed over the 2 days include: the evaluation of paediatric bone health, the medical treatment of orthopaedic disorders and genetic bone disorders.
Our international speaker will be Dr Mary Leonard from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), an eminent paediatrician who has published extensively on paediatric bone disease, secondary osteopenia and bone health evaluation. We have also sourced expertise from around Australia and the meeting will to be of great interest to medical and allied health staff involved in the care of children with bone disorders.
We plan to co-locate the meeting with that of Osteoporosis Australia to facilitate ‘cross fertilisation ’ between the adult and paediatric bone fields.
