Vasculitis Rare Disease Working Group Meeting April 18th 2012

John had an excellent day in London at the inaugural meeting of The Vasculitis Rare Diseases Working Group.. It was really three meetings. One was to discuss the UKVAS registry of people with Vasculitis, one was to discuss the strategy for improving the provision of care for people with Vasculitis and the afternoon session was made up of case studies and current research studies. John will give a summary at the Yorkshire Support Group Meeting and the Vasculitis UK AGM.

John has had such an amazing day.. it was interesting and stimulating and afterwards he went to the pub with them all for a pint... John says it was very positive day for everyone with Vasculitis. There will also be a summary of the meeting in the Autumn newsletter.
