Multidisciplinary lupus care: Introducing a psychological approach

Abstract

The provision of direct psychological support within dedicated lupus clinics is limited. This article discusses the outcome of a brief pilot project that introduced clinical psychology to a predominately medically-led team. Recommendations for future service development are outlined. An introduction of this work was presented as a poster at the British Rheumatology Conference in May 2018 (Vidal et al., 2018).
