LUPUS EUROPE BECOMES FIRST ASSOCIATE MEMBER OF SLEuro, the European Lupus Society

We are very proud to announce that LUPUS EUROPE has just become the first Associate member of SLEuro, the European Lupus Society.

SLEuro is a voluntary and non-political association with social and philanthropic purposes that promotes scientific research and information with regard to SLE and related syndromes. Its members are individuals and institutions of any nationality who share its goals. Members must work in the scientific sector, have proven education and training, and practise a professional activity as researchers, clinicians, nurses or healthcare professionals.

The Society is building a community of clinicians and researchers interested in SLE at an international level, with special focus on engaging younger physicians in the field, promoting and coordinating the organisation of research and educational meetings on SLE and related syndromes, promoting equal access to the best standards of care for SLE patients across Europe, and facilitating research projects and clinical trials in SLE.

LUPUS EUROPE is a strong supporter of SLEuro whose goals are fully aligned with LUPUS EUROPE’s vision of “A fulfilling life for all people with lupus in Europe until we have reached a world without lupus”. Over a number of years, we have appreciated the relentless efforts of the academics and researchers at the origin of SLEuro. We cannot thank them enough for their dedication to Lupus Research, the building-up of a dialogue with lupus patient groups, and their every day care for all people living with lupus in  Europe. To all lupus doctors, we say a big THANK YOU, from the depth of our hearts.
We are proud and honoured to be Associate Members of SLEuro, a connection which symbolises and strengthens the partnership between self-help organisations for lupus patients in Europe and the Medical Community fighting against lupus.

🌍 This month in our #1Month1Study campaign, we highlight our “Living with systemic lupus erythematosus in 2020: a European patient survey”, published in Lupus Science & Medicine.

This large-scale study, conducted by Lupus Europe was led by Alain Cornet, Jeanette Andersen, Kirsi Myllys, Angela Edwards with the incredible support of Prof. Laurent Arnaud. The study analysed data from 4,375 patients across 35 European countries, providing one of the most comprehensive overviews of the burden of SLE in Europe from the patient perspective.

✅ Key findings include:

•⁠ ⁠A median diagnosis delay of 2 years, highlighting persistent gaps in early recognition.
•⁠ ⁠A high symptom burden, with a median of 9 symptoms per patient.
•⁠ ⁠Significant impact on education, employment, and daily functioning.
•⁠ ⁠Marked inequalities in access to care across countries.

📌 These data underline the importance of integrating the patient perspective into clinical practice, research, and health policy to improve outcomes in this complex disease.

😃 Stay tuned as we break down these findings throughout the month and explore what they mean for people living with lupus across Europe.

This study would not have been possible without the active support and dissemination of Lupus Europe National Members across Europe. A huge thank you to all National Members and to all who supported and disseminated the study, for making this possible for the lupus community.
