Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Aims: The investigators will explore the potential role of Palliative and Supportive Care (PSC) for people with inflammatory arthritis. The investigators will describe any unmet patient need. The investigators will develop clinical and research recommendations to help people with inflammatory arthritis live well over the course of their disease. Plan: The investigators research will be conducted in three studies: Study 1: The investigators will conduct 1:1 online interviews with people with inflammatory arthritis to understand how PSC is perceived by them, and what their views are on how PSC may support them to live well. Study 2: The investigators will send an online survey to Rheumatologists, Primary Care, Community and PC HCPs, to understand: * if and how they work together currently; * their views on the role of PSC supporting people with inflammatory arthritis to live well. Study 3: The investigators will conduct online focus groups with volunteers from Studies 1 and 2, representatives from relevant national charities/organisations, and people who commission health services. Together the group will discuss the research findings and agree: * what the gap in patient care is; * recommendations for future clinical practice and research; * the key areas of importance for patients which should be measured in future work
