The Let’s Work Together online survey aims to find positive ways in which employers, people with rheumatic diseases and health professionals can work together and bring this important discussion and dialogue to the media and policy makers.

Picture This is an online photo gallery and competition for people with rheumatic diseases to share their experiences of work through a photograph and inspire others with rheumatic diseases to work together with their employers, co-workers and health professionals to ensure they are fit for work, able to live independently and contribute to society.

Everybody with a rheumatic diesease or working as a helath professional or an employer should be visiting us and filling in the survey - we really need a lot of people to create strong arguments towards policymakers.

Last year more than 4500 submitted their survey. Activities in more than 40 countries have been documented. The best practice examples on the homepage from previous years helped build people`s confidence.
