Lupus Awareness Month October 2017

By
Lupus is a complex and poorly understood condition that affects many parts of the body. The symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening.

The 2017 Lupus Awareness Month campaign will be using the hashtag #THISISLUPUS. The aim of the campaign is to make the invisible visible! The team at LUPUS UK are encouraging individuals to share photos, videos and stories from people affected by lupus around this theme, in the hope of making people more aware of lupus, which can then help control its impact. Is there a side of you that your friends or family don’t usually see? Have you been the victim of abuse from people who did not realise that you were unwell? Have you struggled to get people to understand how much you are affected by your lupus?

Help the NHS understand how you access evidence - complete the survey

By
  NHS staff - Your help is required to build understanding of needs for access to evidence in the NHS. The national team for Knowledge and Library Services are researching how NHS staff currently access and use evidence. We have completed interviews with people from all parts of the team and in all settings across the NHS in England. The next phase of the research will seek to validate the needs that have been identified as a result. We want to understand the picture for clinical and non-clinical staff, students and apprentices, those in regular contact with their Knowledge and Library Service and those who are not. You can read about previous user research that informed the creation of the Knowledge and Library Hub and be assured that your input can make the difference. If you can help, please complete this brief survey The survey will close 12 April 2026
