Consultant rheumatology workforce in the UK: changing patterns of provision 1997-2001.

OBJECTIVES: To summarize the changes in rheumatology provision and working practice that have occurred on the basis of the results of the 1997, 1999 and 2001 surveys carried out to update the British Society for Rheumatology/Arthritis Research Campaign Rheumatology Workforce Register. METHODS: The Workforce Register includes all consultant rheumatologists in the UK who do at least one NHS clinical session per week. Questionnaires were sent to all consultants on the register at the beginning of 1997, 1999 and 2001. The questionnaires asked about clinical commitments and workload. RESULTS: The response rates for 1997, 1999 and 2001 surveys were 85, 86 and 92% respectively. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all had fewer consultant rheumatologists per capita than any English region. Within England, the London region had 60% more rheumatologists per capita than any other English region. CONCLUSION: There are ongoing inequalities in the provision of rheumatology, especially between London and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Rheumatoid arthritis and chronic bronchial suppuration.

Twenty-two patients with rheumatoid arthritis and severe chronic bronchial suppuration are described. In 11 patients the respiratory symptoms appeared after the onset of arthritis at an unusually late age. We discuss causes for the disease association, in particular the possibility that disease modifying drugs in rheumatoid arthritis may predispose to the development of chronic bronchial suppuration; such a possibility requires prospective investigation.

Gold lung.

A rare syndrome of acute pulmonary damage due to gold therapy is described. It appears to be an entity separate from the usually reported side-effects of gold. It has a good prognosis, responding to the cessation of gold and to corticosteroid therapy. Apart from this syndrome of acute pulmonary damage, there is, as yet, no convincing evidence to incriminate gold as a cause of other pulmonary manifestations which have been attributed to rheumatoid arthritis.
