RHEUMAPS Study – University of Aberdeen

Can you help the University of Aberdeen’s Epidemiology group with their Nuffield Foundation study exploring the priorities for healthcare of people living with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease (RMD) e.g. osteoarthritis, vasculitis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout, psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis? 

The aim of this study is to understand the healthcare priorities of those living with RMD and how these might differ in rural and urban communities, with the information gathered helping to make recommendation to support health service planning.

Whilst this study is not focused on rare diseases, feedback and visibility of Behçet’s would be beneficial and would help to achieve additional visibility of the condition.

To take part, you must be over 18 and have a diagnosed rheumatic or musculoskeletal condition. The survey will ask a series of questions to help understand peoples experiences and priorities for care and should take around 20 minutes to complete.
