<p>In August 2017, a new three year Rheumatoid and Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit
was commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP). HQIP manages
the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme on behalf of NHS England.</p><p>
</p><p>The British Society for Rheumatology was awarded the contract to run the audit,
which will assess the care provided by rheumatology services in England and Wales,
and the health outcomes this achieves for people living with inflammatory arthritis
conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis.</p><p>
</p><p>Building on the previous audit, which ran from 2014-16, it will provide more
focused and precise data and employ real-time feedback to support local quality improvement.
The audit is expected to launch in May this year, with first reports expected in the
autumn of 2019. More information can be found at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a
