Nice.org.uk/ guidance......worth a read after the festivities

[AgedCrone]

Below is an extract from the Nice recommendation on guidance re RA patients. It might help if you feel you need more information or access to your rheumatologist re access to Biologics....or anything else.

The whole thing is worth a read.

Now that's a handy bit of reading, especially interested in the Comorbidities.

Thanks for posting

Hallelujah..Miracles do happen....I had no idea how to import a text on this site......I obviously pressed the right buttons!.

Deffo leave until after the hols...it's a lot of info we aren't told ..at least I never have been!

TBH only time docs / consultant interested is if you highlight any issues.

Seems to me they should be more pro active and less reactive really

It is useful, I refer to it often, gotta keep em in check! Hope you've had a good Christmas Day Kathy?

Good day thank you nmh- blissfully quiet!,

I don't know what to think.....Nice seems to make everything that should be simple very complicated. They seem to think "They" are the ones to be considered, not the patient.

I've been to a couple of meetings recently about care in the community, & it all seems to be slanted how to make life easier for NHS staff, not the people they are supposed to be caring for.it's same old, same old, that got us into the mess we are in.....I wish someone would think outside the box for a change!

We know it's about money....but there are ways & 'No Way!'

Happy New Year🍾🍸
