@rheumNow #ACR20 #ABSL02 registry data: Pts on biologics more likely to Shield at Home during COVID 19 as opposed to non-biologic or no systemic Rx at all. Such stringent mitigation tactics may contribute to the reported lower risk of adverse COVID-19 outcomes in biologics Pts

@uptoTate @RheumNow It is only when I started working more closely with our rheum team to look at improving services did I realise how high no-shows are ! We have a 2yr waiting list so these appts are like gold dust. Unfortunately telemedicine not a viable option for your 1st rheum appt.
