Rheumatology specialist care in Europe: workforce trends and regional variations from a UEMS survey (European Union of medical specialists)

This survey underscores the heterogeneity of rheumatologic care across Europe, both in workforce availability and in healthcare delivery models. The data highlight the need for context-specific workforce planning and serve as a preliminary contribution to the broader EULAR initiative "RheumaFacts," which aims to establish a standardized, comparative database on rheumatology workforce, demand, and need.

Abstract

This survey underscores the heterogeneity of rheumatologic care across Europe, both in workforce availability and in healthcare delivery models. The data highlight the need for context-specific workforce planning and serve as a preliminary contribution to the broader EULAR initiative "RheumaFacts," which aims to establish a standardized, comparative database on rheumatology workforce, demand, and need.
