SUMMARY:CORD Webinar: Building the Baseline: How Does Canada Measure Up in Terms of Rare Disease Readiness?
DESCRIPTION:Join CORD for an interactive 60-minute indicator lab exploring how Canada can measure progress in rare disease readiness. Together\, experts and participants will examine and rate key policy and delivery indicators to identify what matters most\, where data gaps exist\, and what a national readiness baseline could look like. This session focuses on building a Canada-wide picture of rare disease readiness\, not ranking provinces. Participants will help identify promising examples and shared opportunities for improvement as CORD develops a national readiness indicator inventory.

SUMMARY:CORD: Webinar 1 : How Readiness Is Built: Lessons from Canadian Rare Disease Pathways
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Drug Access: Building End-to-End Readiness for Phase 2 of Canada’s Rare Disease Drug Strategy As Canada moves toward Phase 2 of the Rare Disease Drug Strategy\, what can we learn from Phase 1\, and what needs to be strengthened? This webinar will explore end-to-end readiness through Canadian experiences with hemophilia\, thalassemia and sickle cell disease\, examining diagnosis\, specialist care\, access to therapies\, disease management and patient support. We will consider what these experiences can teach us about the capabilities Canada needs to build and sustain as new rare disease therapies emerge.

SUMMARY:RareKids-CAN: Logistics of ATMP Workflows for Pharmacy Teams
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide a practical\, high-level overview of how pharmacies handle Advanced Therapeutics Medicinal Products (ATMPs). ATMPs\, such as gene therapy products\, significantly differ from the traditional therapies (i.e.\, small molecule drugs\, biologics\, etc.). Therefore\, pharmacies require tailored workflows from the initial storage\, documentation and handling\, \, as well as chain-of-custody consideration.
