These are strange times we are living through and one change you are likely to notice is that you will be seen less often in the rheumatology clinic and instead either have your appointment by phone or in a video consultation. We would like to hear your opinion about this change to your care as this may be an area for future research. Is the opinion of young people different from that of their parents? We need to find out. So let us know what you think by emailing us at your.rheum@manchester.ac.uk and we can feed your opinion/ideas into the discussions and ensure your voice is heard! Be sure and let Frances know if you wish to remain anonymous or not when you email us.

If you are interested in writing a short piece about your experience for the next newsletter or a blog on the website, even better – just let Frances know.
