Background
Although hEDS is mild for some, others develop multiple related conditions requiring care from Rheumatology, Cardiology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Immunology, MSK, Pain Clinics, and Physiotherapy. Patients face multiple waiting lists with little coordination, causing delays, repeated investigations, higher NHS costs, and reduced quality of life. National multidisciplinary services and care pathways are needed for joined-up care.
