We are aware that local and global registries in rheumatology still lack detail, a control arm and often have a very small number of patients from BAME backgrounds, hence are unable to provide any meaningful outcomes in this context. As we progress over the next 12 months with this pandemic there is an essential requirement for additional in-depth understanding from local, national and international data on health-seeking behaviours and the clinical experiences of different ethnic groups during COVID-19. We believe the lessons learnt during COVID-19 may shine a crucial light on these issues and thus gain the attention required from clinicians, policy makers, national and international societies and patient charities to work harder to reduce the health inequalities.	./cache/cord-294159-721il1e2.txt	./txt/cord-294159-721il1e2.txt
