How about those of us who have a view but no contact with RA team since March 2020 ? I haven't as not needed too but still am worried about the future of RA in NHS hospitals.

[Clare-NRAS Partner NRAS in reply to medway-lady]

You make a good point and I'd encourage you to complete the survey as much as you can regardless of not having had interaction with your team in the interim

[medway-lady in reply to Clare-NRAS]

Will do.

[medway-lady]

It won't allow anyone to take part as it stops at have you had a consultation since 2020. So could not complete therefore there will be thousands like me who are unable to take part. A poor representation of everyone with RA.

Done

[HappykindaGal]

I can’t complete it either , but pleeeeeeease keep telephone appointments. Saves me hours of messing about at a hospital for no reason. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I tried but it froze & wouldn’t let me continue

[vonniesims]

Done, but if you live in Yorkshire do you live in theNorth West orEast?

[Clare-NRAS Partner NRAS in reply to vonniesims]

North East is how it comes under health authorities if that helps

[vonniesims in reply to Clare-NRAS]

I guessed north west !

[Angjoplin]

Thanks and filled in.

I've had 1 phone call that was rushed since covid. I'm currently considering contacting pals to ask what is happening. Phone calls are no good. They can't see your joints, holding the phone to my ear is painful, plus at work I have nowhere private to take the call so can't talk freely.

It doesn't seem to work properly. The only continuation button says 'print'.

It sounds as if this survey may have other flaws..so not a reputable piece of work. That doesn’t reflect well on NRAS, so yiu should perhaps rework the questions or make sure the report highlights the lack of objectivity and that people couldn’t participate.
