@NASSexercise @Tom_Randall A privilege to attend the #APPG meeting at Westminster to hear about the hard work that has been done to drive down the delay to diagnosis of #axialSpA. More work ongoing and so pleased to be part of cohort 3 of the

@NASSexercise

Aspiring to Excellence programme this year.

[AStretch_Physio @AStretch_Physio]

More @britspauk conference pearls!
Misdiagnosis risk in #AxSpA
👉🏼BMO can still be present on MRI scan 1 yr post partum
👉🏼x-ray = neither sensitive/ specific for diagnosis of AxSpA therefore ASAS diagnostic criteria no longer need X-ray
#BRITSpA22

[Will Gregory @PhysioWillGreg]

"Moving a single dot" a key focus for year 3 of #AspiringtoExcellence as cohort 3 starts to take us up to 16 centres.

That "dot" is delay to diagnosis in #AxialSpA and @NASSchiefexec Dr. Dale Webb has a fantastic proposal to significantly improve delay UK-wide. Exciting times!!
