We have been really saddened to hear of the tragic and untimely death of Michael Mosley. He kindly gave his time to talk to our members during the pandemic and many of them have benefitted from his work. Our thoughts are with his family.

Had lovely feedback from a rheumatology consultant about the Leeds GCA course we ran in Sept: “I’ve strongly recommended the Leeds course, it was amongst the best teaching I’ve attended.” It’s really nice to have this feedback and to be able to share it with the team here!

Cambridge University published important research this week on the negative impact of a psychosomatic misdiagnosis ahead of an autoimmune diagnosis. Sadly this is something we hear from patients with #PMR and #GCA and the consequences can be devastating pmrgca.org.uk/important-rese…
