A Scleroderma and Raynaud’s UK (SRUK) national survey to explore rheumatologists’ awareness, approaches to diagnosis and management and training needs within systemic sclerosis
Our survey reveals a serious gap in the awareness and the signs and symptoms of SSc among some UK rheumatologists, in addition to a perception that services, training and education in this area are underfunded. Our findings indicate that there is a role for the provision of further education and training as part of continued professional development.
