DISTRICT RHEUMATOLOGY SERVICES: A REPORT BY THE COMMITTEE ON RHEUMATOLOGY OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS OF LONDON*

P. H. N. WOOD

The Committee on Rheumatology was seriously concerned about variations in the availability of services for patients with rheumatic diseases in different parts of the country. It commissioned a draft report to document various aspects of the present situation which would then be augmented, on this basis, by proposals for the establishment of basic requirements and minimum standards for a district rheumatology service. The draft was considered and adopted, and the report has now been approved by the Royal College of Physicians of London; in its final form it is now an official College document. This paper sets out the contents of the report endorsed by the College Committee.

KEY WORDS: Consultants, Manpower, Rheumatological services, United Kingdom

*The Working Party charged with preparation of the original draft of this report, which was adopted virtually unaltered, comprised Dr. I. Haslock (President-Elect of the British Society for Rheumatology), Dr. A. J. Swannell (Chairman of the Clinical Affairs Committee of BSR), and Professor P. H. N. Wood (responsible for maintaining the British League against Rheumatism Register of Rheumatology Manpower and, on behalf of the Arthritis and Rheumatism Council, for monitoring the availability of services throughout the country).
