💃 That’s a wrap on the 2026 Lupus Europe Convention!
🦋 Three days of learning, sharing, practical ideas and plenty of laughter. Thank you to everyone who made Barcelona so special.
🇷🇸 Next stop: Belgrade for the 2027 #LupusConvention!
🔴Where we live, available resources & our ability to access and understand health information can affect lupus care & outcomes.
Health literacy is more than “patient education”.
#EasyLupus & Consultation Cards help make information easier to understand & use.
#LupusConvention
💬 Health literacy challenges can build up: too much info, conflicting advice, language barriers, changing doctors & difficulty expressing needs or taking part in shared decisions.
Mark Bakker stresses that these needs can also go unnoticed by professionals.
#LupusConvention
🩺 Meet the Doctor at #LupusConvention gives delegates the chance to bring questions and concerns from their communities directly to a lupus specialist.
Today, Prof Cervera is sharing practical knowledge on lupus mechanisms, manifestations & wider issues relevant to daily life
🚀Workshops are a central part of every #LupusConvention.
✅Together, we listen to the needs and resources of our members' communities, explore what we can control or influence, and define concrete, realistic actions that Lupus Europe and its community can take forward together
🦋 Young people with lupus face challenges that go beyond treatment itself.
At #LupusConvention, Rita Vieira from our Youth Group is bringing the youth perspective into focus, from transition to adult care and adherence to side effects, fertility and family planning.
💬 What happens beyond the doctor’s office matters too.
🦋 Andrea from Spain shares @felupus Youth Encounter project: a safe, judgement-free space where young people can talk about treatment fatigue, daily life and support each other.
#LupusConvention
📖 Jona from Iceland shares the book Maria & Mom’s Secret, a story about 8yo Maria and the special bond she shares with her mum, where everyday moments become imaginative adventures together.
✨ Another example of the creativity and ideas our members bring to #LupusConvention.
