Spring 2020
Welcome
We know that one of the things that our members most like to see is information about PMR and GCA. Not only do we have research from Dr Sara Muller as usual, but Im delighted that we are introducing a new column from Dr Sarah Mackie. Sarah will be sharing her knowledge with us by tackling common questions that members may have on either condition.
I’m also pleased to share that our work alongside some of the worlds leading rheumatologists has come to fruition with the publication of the new GCA guidelines. Our deputy-chair, Dorothy Byrne, was a patient representative on the committee drawing up the guidelines and is named, along with Kate Gilbert, one of the co-founders of our charity, as one of the authors. There is an in-depth article about what this means for patients and doctors alike.
I hope you enjoy reading this edition and feel a little more empowered in managing.
