The network in Rheumatology is one of 12 medical Competence Networks which are promoted from the Federal Ministry of Education and Science since the beginning of 2000. Our endeavor was aimed at bringing together doctors in clinical practices, patients and scientists to improve patient care in rheumatology. Therefore, this network is made up of various components, namely health services research, patient care, and new diagnostic efforts. Particular care is being devoted to take scientific work from the bench to the bedside.
