Could this be part of BILAG? Several years ago i agreed to join in this lupus research via my rheumatology clinic. Hospitals all over GB are involved:

No I haven't but would be happy to. I haven't ever seen a NHS rheumy as once you've seen someone private you get stuck. I would like to know of anything I could be part of as we are all so different I feel they need to include as many of us as possible.

interesting I first saw my rheumatologist in private then he referred me to his Nhs outpatient clinic. I am still seeing him after some 20 years try and see if you could attend his nhs outpatient clinic. Ours is a long trek and can be proved expensive in the long run as it is so broad.

Best wishes

Yep a possibility. Its only London. Only private initially through my husbands work. General care, and I use the term loosely through my gp. But there is the sticking point. The NHS referal needs to be local, and I have to force my gp to refer back when I need something. She thinks I get adequate care but never calls me for general checks I attend when I know I can't manage my symptoms.

However, I would be interested in in research and have just google it my rheumy is part of the research I will ask.

I have been asked in the past and I help where I can, if not to help me but for those of us diagnosed in the future.

Yes, last year I agreed to be involved with one at my local hospital in Sunderland.
