Oral and Poster Presentation ARA-NSW 2021 - 43rd Annual NSW Branch Meeting

Rheumatologists find it difficult to provide whole-person care within the confines of consultations.   Since mid-2020, BJC Health has worked on an online offering to help support people living with chronic rheumatic disease. This BJC Connect platform provides:

• Learning with live interactive educational events & resources, delivered by rheumatologists and allied health professionals (AHPs)
• Interactive group workshops to put learning into Practice
• Ongoing Live and Guided Exercise classes (>40 a week), allowing a safe and convenient environment to exercise anywhere

The platform emphasises a whole-person approach much needed in real-world treatment of chronic disease.

Most content is available free with over 1000 members registered. BJC Connect is now mature enough that we are opening up the resource for patients all around Australia.  

BJC Connect will never replace face-to-face support from doctors or the need for local AHPs. It is designed to enhance existing care by educating and empowering patients, through support provided with regular interaction and engagement with their rheumatology community.

We are confident that this resource will enhance healthcare delivery for rheumatologists all around Australia and encourage rheumatologists to take a close look at www.bjcconnect.com.au
