The ASIF team attended EULAR 2026 in London, from 3 to 6 June. The congress provided an expansive scientific programme as well as a dedicated PARE (People with Arthritis and Rheumatism in Europe) programme, aimed at those working with patient organisations and people who live with rheumatic conditions.

In between meetings with key stakeholders and informing people about IMAP and other projects at the ASIF booth, the team attended a range of sessions. A consistent message across them was that access to care remains a major challenge. Improving access requires coordinated action across healthcare systems, policymakers, clinicians, and patient organisations.
