This study is about the letters rheumatology healthcare professionals write after an outpatient appointment. These are called clinic letters. National guidance advises healthcare professionals to write clinic letters directly to patients, but not everyone does. Instead, some healthcare professionals write these letters to their patients’ GPs. A copy may also be sent to the patients. We are carrying out this survey as part of a wider project. Our aim is to develop a set of resources to encourage and support rheumatology healthcare professionals to write directly to patients. To help us do this, we need to know more about people’s experiences of receiving clinic letters (or not), and their views on these letters and who they are written to.
