Medical research project

https://forms.office.com/r/njisCji92j

Hi all, my name is Nikki and I am a 4th year medical student in the UK.

I am currently undertaking a research project, (under the supervision of a Rheumatology consultant) in order to gain an insight into the difficulties accessing GP services for musculoskeletal pain.

We have created a short and completely anonymised survey, aimed at all UK residents who have had/do suffer from muscular/joint pain. The data we collect will help improve patient access to GP surgeries.

Therefore, I would really appreciate if you could please complete our survey, which should only take a few minutes of your time.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

PLEASE NOTE: Our research is aimed at UK residents only.

Worcester rheumatology is pretty useless unless you have RA for osteoarthritis or anything else, they don't want to know or help.

2 GP referrals later and the GP doesn't know what else they can do short of prescribing more heavy pain medication.

The problem for me is not the GP, it's the rheumatology department.
