Service Improvement in Axial SpA Care – Aspiring to Excellence Teams Showcase Their Work

02.04.2022

Since joining the Aspiring to Excellence programme in 2019 and 2021, the first two rounds of teams have been working hard on their projects, which are all tailored towards improving diagnosis, treatment and care for patients with axial SpA.

To celebrate their work to date, each team was asked to produce a poster showcasing their progress so far.
