About the Survey
The ‘Let`s Work Together’ online survey was developed to accompany the EULAR Charter for Work, which was developed during the EULAR Autumn Conference 2008 in Budapest and launched at the AAA event in Brussels in March this year. The survey looked at work and people with rheumatic diseases and had three questionnaires to gather the perspectives of people with rheumatic diseases, employers and healthcare professionals.
