During 28 April – 30 April 2025, the Long-Term Conditions research group attended the annual conference of the British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) in Manchester alongside clinicians, allied health professionals, researchers and charities (2,000 delegates total).
The team presented five studies across two oral presentations and four posters:
- ADAPT: feasibility study of psychosocial and exercise interventions for people with Lupus (Miranda Van Emmenis on behalf of Melanie Sloan)
- “If I were White”: qualitative analysis of the experiences of minoritized ethnic groups with SARDs (Sydnae Taylor)
- INSPIRE-Flare: investigating flares, triggers and prodromes in autoimmune disease patients (Martha Piper)
- Menopause MATTERs: hormonal replacement therapy & menopause in SARDs patients (Kaira Kuhu Naidu)
The conference provided a great opportunity for the group to showcase their work to a wider audience, network with colleagues and hear about the latest research.
