New pathway to support clinicians and patients with axial SpA

New pathway to support clinicians and patients with axial SpA

Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) has worked with the National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS), to develop and share a new pathway for Axial Spondyloarthritis (axial SpA), supporting clinicians to provide the best patient care and allowing patients and commissioners to see what they can expect from a service.

Pathways for inflammatory arthritis, Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) and suspected GCA, and connective tissue disease are also available to view and download.
