Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To summarize the changes in rheumatology provision and working practice that have occurred on the basis of the results of the 1997, 1999 and 2001 surveys carried out to update the British Society for Rheumatology/Arthritis Research Campaign Rheumatology Workforce Register. METHODS: The Workforce Register includes all consultant rheumatologists in the UK who do at least one NHS clinical session per week. Questionnaires were sent to all consultants on the register at the beginning of 1997, 1999 and 2001. The questionnaires asked about clinical commitments and workload. RESULTS: The response rates for 1997, 1999 and 2001 surveys were 85, 86 and 92% respectively. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all had fewer consultant rheumatologists per capita than any English region. Within England, the London region had 60% more rheumatologists per capita than any other English region. CONCLUSION: There are ongoing inequalities in the provision of rheumatology, especially between London and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
