Join the NASS Time to Diagnosis Patient Survey
The NASS Time to Diagnosis Patient Survey was launched in 2022. It aims to gather data on time to diagnosis and the areas where the delays have occurred. Email goldstandard@nass.co.uk to find out more.
How does it work?
This is a survey which is completed by patients to help understand their journey to diagnosis. It covers all four nations.
This complements the National Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit (NEIAA) and is not a replacement. Sign up to NEIAA here.
The NASS survey is simply completed by patients at the time of diagnosis, by scanning a QR code from a patient leaflet in the rheumatology department which NASS can provide.
