This full-day CIDP Masterclass is an advanced, case-based educational program designed for clinicians involved in the diagnosis and wider management of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The program combines expert-led plenary presentations with facilitated interactive case discussions to reflect real-world clinical decision-making across the CIDP care pathway. The agenda progresses from diagnostic foundations to treatment initiation, long-term management, and refractory disease. Core topics include CIDP subtypes and diagnostic challenges, application of contemporary EAN/PNS diagnostic criteria, interpretation of electrodiagnostic findings, and evidence-based management. Through structured case studies, participants will explore acute and typical CIDP presentations, treatment selection and sequencing, steroid responsiveness and relapse, overlap syndromes, and common mimics. Later sessions focus on maintenance therapy, monitoring response, dose titration, transition of therapies, and development of individualised long-term treatment plans using outcome measures. The program concludes with complex and refractory CIDP cases, examining treatment failure, reassessment of diagnosis, and alternative management strategies. Throughout the day, facilitated discussion encourages reflection on current practice, peer exchange, and practical application of evidence to complex clinical scenarios through post-work.
