220,000 adults in the UK live with axial SpA. There remains a long delay to diagnosis, and not everyone receives the same level of treatment care and support.
Our vision is to have a future with timely diagnosis and holistic care, supported by a united axial SpA community.
In our 5 year strategy we set out how we plan to move towards this with five goals for the coming years:
- To ensure that people with axial SpA are diagnosed within twelve months of symptom onset and receive the information and support they need.
- To create and embed a gold standard approach to treatment and care, integrating lived experience and clinical perspectives.
- To support and empower people to live well with axial SpA and feel part of a supportive community.
- To influence, advocate and educate for axial SpA.
- To ensure that NASS is able to deliver its ambitious programmes.
