BSR's 'gold standard' clinical guidelines support evidence-based clinical practice in rheumatology.
Our guidelines are developed using the methods and processes outlined in Creating Clinical Guidelines: British Society for Rheumatology Protocol and overseen by our Guidelines Steering Group.
Our guidelines grow out of the collaborative efforts of many members and non-members, specialists and generalists and people with lived experience of the topic being covered. We also involve trainees in our guideline working groups as an important educational opportunity. To express an interest in joining a guideline working group, complete our online form.
All guidelines are published in Rheumatology under an ‘open access’ licence.
To develop our guidelines, we partner with the University of Keele to support the evidence review process.
