In our first episode, host Naomi Creek discusses all things lupus with Professor Eric Morand, a Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor, a physician-scientist and Dean of the Sub-Faculty of Clinical and Molecular Medicine at Monash University. He is a clinical rheumatologist specialising in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is Head of the Monash Health Rheumatology Unit.

Professor Morand provides an insightful overview of lupus and its symptoms and shares the challenges of diagnosing and treating lupus due to its complex nature. He highlights the importance of achieving early diagnosis to minimise damage to body organs. Professor Morand also talks about the role of genetic factors and the need for patient self-efficacy and empowerment.

Their conversation covers treatment options for lupus including new targeted therapies, clinical trials and the potential of CAR T-cell therapy for achieving drug-free remission.

Patient PrepRheum is a podcast exploring important and often-misunderstood aspects of living with autoimmune arthritis and related conditions here in Australia. We'll speak with fellow patients and renowned doctors to help gain a better understanding of some of the less talked about topics of managing these diseases.

At CreakyJoints Australia we are on a mission to raise awareness and deepen the collective understanding of arthritis, a disease which has more than 200 variations, empowering patients to put themselves at the centre of their own health. 

In Patient PrepRheum, we are looking at three key areas:
Biosimilars - a group of biologic medicines used to slow and stop the progression of Autoimmune arthritis;
How medications are approved via the Therapeutic Goods Administration and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme; and
the importance of good patient-doctor communication.

Hosted by CreakyJoints Australia National Coordinator Naomi Creek.
