Behçet’s Patients Support have been asked by their colleagues at the London Centre of Excellence to help with another survey. Members of Behçet’s UK, together with patients of the three Behçet’s Centres of Excellence, are being asked for their feedback on how COVID-19 may have affected them.
The aim of the survey is to find out the impact that these past few months have had on your wellbeing, so that the Behçet’s Centres may be better prepared during the flu season and the winter months if any Behçet’s UK members or Behçet’s Centre patients develop active disease.
The survey is available online via the Behcet’s Patients Support website or can be accessed directly at Behçet’s Centres COVID-19 Patient Survey.
It would be very helpful if as many Behçet’s patients as possible fill out the survey, which should only take 10–15 minutes to complete. Follow the instructions and either tick boxes, rank symptoms or write in the details as instructed. All answers are all voluntary, but we do ask that you fill in as much of the detail as you are happy to share. That way we get the most data possible.
If you are unable to complete it yourself, please ask a friend or carer to help, as we’d like as many responses as possible. The information from the survey may assist the Centres in planning future patient care.
Your time is much appreciated and, as always, the results will be shared with you via our website and this newsletter.
