Patient survey<\/h1>\n
This study is about the letters rheumatology healthcare professionals write after an outpatient appointment. These are called clinic letters.<\/p>\n
National guidance advises healthcare professionals to write clinic letters directly to patients, but not everyone does. Instead, some healthcare professionals write these letters to their patients’ GPs. A copy may also be sent to the patients.<\/p>\n
We are carrying out this survey as part of a wider project. Our aim is to develop a set of resources to encourage and support rheumatology healthcare professionals to write directly to patients.<\/p>\n
To help us do this, we need to know more about people’s experiences of receiving clinic letters (or not), and their views on these letters and who they are written to.<\/p>\n
We are asking patients to complete our survey, which takes about 10-20 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n
We want to hear from people who:<\/p>\n
- \n
- are currently a patient of an NHS\/HSC rheumatology outpatient department in the UK<\/li>\n
- are aged 18 or over;<\/li>\n
- have attended two or more NHS\/HSC rheumatology outpatient clinic appointments in the UK;<\/li>\n
- can speak English;<\/li>\n
- have capacity (the ability) to provide consent to take part.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
