in only 2 days, the INTEGRATE and  ERN ReCONNET surveys will be closed. Yet, we miss feedback from several countries, and only have 1 or 2 answers from others. It would really help our understanding of lupus and the interactions with Doctors if we had more answers from more locations. please help us gather that extra feedback by answering the surveys if you have not done yet, and by forwarding to your lupus friends… The information you will provide will be analysed by a multi-functional team, in which LUPUS EUROPE is represented, to trigger action, influence projects and/or guide decisions.

INTEGRATE SURVEY:
The survey is part of the INTEGRATE project (www.integrate-sle.eu), a project funded by the European Commission involving the University of Pisa (Italy), the University of Dusseldorf (Germany) and the Sant’ Anna School of Advanced Studies (Italy).
The aim of the project is to map the needs and expectations of patients with SLE and the rheumatologists involved in their care and management in order to design strategies integrating both points of view, with the final goal to improve management and self-management of the disease.
As SLE patient you have been invited to participate to the survey, through the LUPUS EUROPE association or your clinician, to give voice to patients with SLE.

To complete the survey (in English, Italian  or German (revised)), please follow this link https://www.integrate-sle.eu 
Thank you in advance for providing your feedback by  15th February 2019!
Your participation and your time will be really appreciated and it will surely contribute to the success of the initiative.

 

If you have some timle left, also complete the ERN RECONNET Survey :
RECONNET is the European Reference Network on rare and complex connective tissue diseases. It brings together Healthcare Providers and patients to improve the quality of care, the activity of the physicians, and the empowerment of patients across Europe. The survey collects simple feedback on different aspects related to ethical, legal and privacy issue, and on cross-border healthcare. It is available in Dutch, English, French, Italian, German, Portuguese and Spanish:

🎥 Last week, during #EULAR2026, the Chair of Lupus Europe's Board of Directors, Jeanette Andersen, was interviewed on EULAR TV about #LupusGPT.

Watch as she explains what #LupusGPT is and why reliable, understandable lupus information is important for patients and for lupus care.

🦋 #LupusGPT is patient-led, built with clinicians, patients and IT experts, and grounded in trusted lupus resources.

#LupusGPT is not a replacement for healthcare professionals, but it helps people better understand lupus information and prepare more informed questions for their physicians.

✅ #EULAR2026 has finished, but we still have a lot to tell you!

🦋 Day 2 at the EULAR Congress showed why patient involvement matters across research, care, digital innovation and outcome measurement.

🥰 Lupus Europe was proud to contribute to several key sessions.

💬 Zoe Karakikla-Mitsakou, our General Secretary, presented #LupusGPT and #EasyLupus in the Meet the EULAR Expert session on AI as a partner in care, highlighting patient-led, reliable and accessible digital information.

🌍 Zoe also spoke in the session “Bridging the Gap: Expanding Rheumatology Access for Underserved and Underrepresented Communities”, sharing insights from local patient panel work in Portugal and how patient organisations can help identify real-world barriers to care, especially for people we do not always reach.
Thank you to Dr Daniel Guimaraes de Oliveira for his contribution and support in this important project.

🧩 Our Chair, Jeanette Andersen, delivered an inspiring presentation on non-pharmacological interventions in connective tissue diseases, bringing the patient perspective into discussions on physical activity, and the need for psychosocial support and personalised care beyond medication.

📊 Another highlight of the day was Jeanette co-chairing, together with Prof Laurent Arnaud, the session on measurement of disease activity in SLE clinical trials. The session explored how we measure lupus arthritis, treatment outcomes and remission, and why outcome measures must better reflect the reality of living with lupus.

💫 Our team also followed key sessions and poster tours on epidemiological data for advocacy, access and empowerment, and therapeutic advances in lupus.

And throughout the day, we continued welcoming visitors at the Lupus Europe booth, sharing our projects, tools and conversations with the wider rheumatology community.
