Ref.:  (LML) Subject: Infectious Diseases Global Education Network and Leprosy Education Programme on MedShr

 

From:  Erik Post, Raglan, New Zealand

 

Dear Pieter and colleagues,

Recently I was in touch with Sugam Taneja (see email below) concerning a new learning platform that can be used for leprosy. As we all know that at the field level human capacities for leprosy are under threat. In that context, a learning platform where knowledge about leprosy cases can be shared and where a variety of health providers can learn more about leprosy might be helpful. Of course this heavily depends on active participation in bringing cases to the platform, commenting on cases presented by other platform users, and by spreading the message that all of this is easily accessible on computer and smartphones.

Against this background, I would like to invite you to join Infectious Diseases Global Education Network on MedShr: https://en.medshr.net/groups/398818. This group is for Infectious Diseases Specialists, Primary Care Physicians and other HCPs to connect and discuss Infectious Diseases cases together. The group allows you to share and discuss your experiences and challenges around the care of patients with Leprosy, from making an early diagnosis of leprosy to managing patients with complex presentations and disabilities.

MedShr is a secure and compliant discussion platform enabling doctors to share and discuss cases in a private professional network. Now with over 1.5 million members using MedShr, it's the world's leading case discussion platform. This initiative is supported by Novartis, however Novartis employees do not have access to the MedShr platform or clinical cases.

MedShr have now launched the first case on leprosy in the series and would love to get your thoughts on it: What is the most likely subtype of leprosy affecting this 40-year-old gentleman?

From there, please do share some of your own cases around Leprosy with the group. The MedShr app makes it easy to capture images, obtain patient consent (if required) and discuss cases with peers and colleagues. There are monthly case competitions on MedShr and you can also earn CPD credits from MedShr for the case discussions that you have.

MedShr is free to use and available from

• the App Store: ‎MedShr: The App for Doctors on the App Store (apple.com)
• Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.medshr.android&_branch_match_id=991217798110987869&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz01NKc4o0sss0S%2FISawEAOZA8dsWAAAA
• Alternativey, you can register on the MedShr website https://en.medshr.net/groups/398818?id=398818.

For help getting started, please contact Dr Sugam Taneja (sugam.taneja@medshr.net) from the MedShr team.

 

Kind regards,

 

Erik Post
