Overview

The MDT Advisory Council advises on challenges across the multidisciplinary team (MDT) in paediatric, adolescent and adult rheumatology across the UK.

The Council is key in sharing local developments throughout the UK and identifying how BSR can effectively support members as well as sharing relevant BSR information for wider dissemination.

It's made up of clinicians, nurses, allied health professionals (AHPs) pharmacists, psychologists, physician associates and other health professionals representing the paediatric, adolescent and adult rheumatology community, from each of our seven English regions and the devolved nations.
