Genetic Alliance UK Survey

If anyone would like to do this survey, it could help raise awareness
Hello
My name is Amy Simpson and I am a researcher at Genetic Alliance UK. You may have heard about 'CONCORD' - an NIHR-funded research study about coordinated care for rare conditions, which we are undertaking in collaboration with University College London. A key aim of the study is to find out how care is currently coordinated for those with rare conditions and how it should be coordinated in the future. This is an important piece of work, which we hope will provide valuable evidence to inform future policy.
If your organisation represents families affected by rare conditions, it would be great if you could share this information with your networks, to encourage them to take part. We need as many patients, carers and healthcare professionals as possible to share their experiences and views by completing our online national survey (bit.ly/CONCORDsurvey). They must be 18 or over to complete the survey. If they are under 18, a parent or carer can complete on their behalf.
The survey closes on Sunday 8th December.
You can read more about the survey and study here (https://www.geneticalliance.org.uk/news-event/have-your-say-on-care-coordination/). You can also download a social media toolkit from the webpage, which includes suggested social media posts, infographics, hashtags and key information to share with your community.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Thanks in advance for your support with this important work
Amy
