EDM 1146: Bedfordshire Rheumatology team

That this House celebrates the achievement of Bedfordshire Rheumatology team who have been recognized as one of three trusts nationally who have actively reduced the diagnostic delay in Axial Spondyloarthritis (Axial SpA); understands the impact of Axial SpA as an inflammatory condition of the spine and joints, which works silently, leaving people in increasing pain and exhaustion; and supports the aims of the Act on Axial SpA campaign to reduce the current UK average time between first symptom to diagnosis from eight and a half years to one year.
