Our co-produced funding application with the Cambridge based “Patients Led Research Hub” (based at Addenbrooke’s Hospital to the British Sjögren’s Syndrome Association’s 2018 Research Award has been successful! 

This grant will help to create an online patient portal to allow sjogrerns syndrome patients to interact with their own health data, use symptom trackers, and input trial data. We aim to use the portal as a platform for a patient led dietary supplement trial.

Great News for all Sjogren’s Syndrome patients.  Read the full details from Carol and Henrietta on our "New Research Project Page"

We try to bring you up to date information related to Sjögrens Syndrome from UK and World Wide sources, in a plain speaking style,  so both patients and busy healthcare professionals can use it as a basic source of information and reference.  

The condition has many complexities and articles on this website highlight a number of both well known and more obsure issues related to both Primary and Secondary Sjögrens Syndrome.

Kings College, Cambridge

Our aim is to promote and develop an improved understanding of the complexity of both Primary and Secondary Sjögrens Syndrome for all patients, carers and medical professionals.

Our collective target is to improve treatments for this disabling condition and hopefully a cure "one day"
