Abstract

Botulinum toxin is a well-established treatment for a number of conditions involving muscle hyperactivity, such as focal dystonia and spastic paresis. However, current injection practice is not standardized and there is a clear need for structured training. An international group of experts in the management of patients with cervical dystonia (CD) and spastic paresis created a steering committee (SC). For each therapeutic area, the SC developed a core slide set on best practice, based on the literature. International sites of expertise were identified for training and courses were designed to include lectures and casebased learning. Where possible, courses received accreditation from the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS). Each course was peer reviewed by the SC, the UEMS accreditation board and the attendees themselves (through evaluation questionnaires). Attendees' feedback was shared with the SC and the trainers to tailor future training sessions. From the program launch in 2012 to December 2014, 328 physicians from 34 countries were trained in a total of 58 courses; 67% of the courses focused on spastic paresis and 33% on CD. Of the 225 (69%) physicians who completed feedback forms, 95% rated their course as 'above average/excellent' in meeting the preset learning objectives. Most (90%) physicians declared that attending a course would lead them to change their practice. The development of the 'Ixcellence Network' for continuous medical education in the fields of spastic paresis and CD has provided a novel and interactive way of training physicians with previous experience in botulinum toxin injection.

Ixcellence网络®:一个国际教育网络,旨在改善目前通过注射肉毒杆菌毒素治疗颈椎肌张力障碍或痉挛性麻痹的实践。
肉毒杆菌毒素是一种行之有效的治疗一些条件涉及肌肉过度活跃,如局灶性肌张力障碍和痉挛性轻瘫。然而,目前的注射实践没有标准化,显然需要进行结构化的培训。管理颈肌张力障碍(CD)和痉挛性轻瘫患者的国际专家组创建了一个指导委员会(SC)。对于每个治疗领域,SC根据文献制定了最佳实践的核心幻灯片集。确定了国际专门知识地点进行培训,并设计了包括讲座和基于案例的学习在内的课程。在可能的情况下,这些课程获得了欧洲医学专家联盟(欧洲医学专家联盟)的认可。每门课程都由SC、UEMS认证委员会和参与者自己进行同行评审(通过评估问卷)。与会者的反馈与SC和培训师分享,以定制未来的培训课程。从2012年项目启动到2014年12月,来自34个国家的328名医生接受了58个课程的培训;67%的课程关注痉挛性轻瘫,33%关注CD。在225名(69%)完成反馈表格的医生中,95%的人认为他们的课程在满足预设学习目标方面“高于平均水平/优秀”。大多数(90%)医生表示,参加课程会改变他们的执业方式。在痉挛性麻痹和乳糜泻领域继续医学教育的“Ixcellence网络”的发展提供了一种新的和互动的方式来培训以前有肉毒杆菌毒素注射经验的医生。
