NASS launches its first Peer to Peer Network

Today, 24 April, NASS has launched its first Peer to Peer Network at the British Society of Rheumatology Conference. The network is open to any healthcare professional working in axial SpA, whether in the NHS or private practice

By joining the Peer to Peer Network, healthcare professionals will be joining our mission to transform axial SpA care and diagnosis. The network is part of the Act on Axial SpA programme, which aims to drive down the 8.5 year delay to diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis by introducing the world’s first Gold Standard diagnosis time of just one year.

It’s an informal but structured group, providing the opportunity to link with others, share good practice and discuss ideas.

There are two ways to be involved:

  • webinars in May and October
  • and by signing up to a quarterly newsletters in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
