简要总结
The 19.5 months project will pilot the introduction of a hospital-based, nurse-led ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) service for patients being initiated on biologic therapy in NHS Lothian Edinburgh Western General Hospital.
It is anticipated that this new model of care will improve:
- The time from referral for biologic therapy to initiation of treatment with a biological therapy due to the dedicated nurse to see patients
- The management and monitoring of AS and PsA patients post commencement of treatment , in line with The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines
