The European Network for Children with Arthritis and Autoinflammatory Diseases (ENCA) is a pan-European network led for and by parents and young people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs). The network is supported by the Paediatric Rheumatology European Society (PReS) for doctors, healthcare professionals and researchers. ENCA’s role is help national patient organisations to connect with each other, in order to learn from each other, and identify ways of working together. ENCA enables people to have a voice, meet and learn from each other by providing spaces for people to connect on social media, hosting competitions, establishing awareness campaigns, and by hosting a conference each year.
