We benefit enormously from the expertise of the Centre for Musculoskeletal Research and we also have close links with other groups in the University, including the:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Centre for Imaging Sciences<\/li>\n
- Photon Science Institute<\/li>\n
- Centre for Dermatology<\/li>\n
- School of Chemistry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
National and international collaborations are also crucial to our work given the rarity of systemic sclerosis and the complex challenges that this disease presents.<\/p>\n

We have an active programme of clinical and scientific research investigating the pathophysiology, epidemiology, measurement and treatment of systemic sclerosis and primary Raynaud\u2019s phenomenon<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Research Right” global_parent=”1483″ _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n
\n\nOur group also studies primary Raynaud\u2019s phenomenon when Raynaud\u2019s occurs in the absence of any underlying condition, and on localised scleroderma (morphoea) when scleroderma occurs in the absence of underlying connective tissue disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patient education days<\/h3>\n
The Salford Royal clinical service also offers patient education days with talks from doctors, specialist nurses and allied health professionals and the opportunity to meet other patients and their families.<\/p>\n
These information days are intended for Salford patients. The patient support organisations listed above also host similar events.<\/p>\n
