The fabulous @lynnlaidlaw.bsky.social showcasing how patient-led research is possible! The system forces people to choose their silo, which is crazy - time to move towards an expertise and interest-led model I say!

🦋Impossible to summarise all #EULAR2025 has meant for us.

While we prepare more content to share scientific highlights, here’s a short video with some special, human moments.

From this energy & passion come projects like #LupusGPT 

🙏 Thanks to all who make all this possible

💥 The 3 “Move Together” sessions were a great success at #EULAR2025!
Hands-on, inclusive, and packed with practical tools to bring exercise science into daily care for people with RMDs.
A huge thank you to all who joined us!

😃 #LupusGPT has been highlighted once again at @eular_org PARE Highlights session, recognising its value as a patient-driven, multilingual tool that makes reliable lupus info accessible worldwide.

A great example of how co-creation with patients leads to🔝innovation!

Some nice recommendations and useful toolkit to help young people with RMDs to navigate the workplace! Find out more here: arthritispatient.ca/en/arthritis... #eular2025

Natasha Trehan @capa-aca.bsky.social highlights the worries young people have about getting into employment with an RMD #eular2025
June 14, 2025 at 10:49 AM
Young people with RMDs find it difficult to access school accommodations - they want the education system to make it easier for them to get the support they need - something @raiiseuk.bsky.social takes seriously #eular2025

Having an RMD can disrupt financial planning, increase debt risk, and cause uncertainty about retirement #eular2025
June 14, 2025 at 10:35 AM
The cost of living with an RMD is often hidden beneath the surface #eular2025
June 14, 2025 at 10:33 AM
Important research from Arthritis Ireland - arthritis costs an average of €3500 per person per year, when thinking about all the additional needs due to an RMD diagnosis #eular2025

We need to be thinking of early adopters, early/late majority, and laggards when it comes to digital health technology, AND those who are off bounds and require alternative methods of engagement #eular2025

We have a great opportunity here to influence organisational health literacy, leveraging the expertise of patient organisations to inform and guide healthcare systems to make healthcare more accessible #eular2025
June 14, 2025 at 7:54 AM
The health literacy dilemma - the disconnect between risk factors and development of disease is evident #eular2025
June 14, 2025 at 7:50 AM
We really need to get better at proactive strategies to prevent disease / worsening symptoms within this ‘window of opportunity’ #eular2025
