We're excited to announce a new campaign ‘The people we need: Our plan to grow the Rheumatology workforce and enable excellent care’, which will launch on 25 April.
Our campaign will set out what steps our members expect the next UK Government to take to grow the rheumatology workforce and enable excellent care for the 17 million people living with these chronic, painful and often debilitating conditions. As the UK public is possibly 20 months from a general election, the political parties are starting to crystallise their policy positions and manifesto platforms.
Your experiences, in the form of quotes and case studies, will enhance the credibility and persuasiveness of our public affairs and campaigns activity.
We are asking people working in rheumatology and those affected by rheumatology to:
- Share quotes that showcase the positive impact of rheumatology teams on patients’ lives.
- Tell us how your team has adopted models of care led by specialist nurses, AHPs or pharmacists and can demonstrate related efficiencies and cost savings of best use of your team’s skill mix.
Please submit your response here.
We are especially encouraging responses from traditionally underrepresented groups as we want our work to reflect the fullest range of experiences.
More information about how you can get involved in this campaign will follow shortly.
Meanwhile, If you have any questions about the campaign please contact policybsr@rheumatology.org.uk
