Some achievements of the IRSS

The Irish Raynaud’s & Scleroderma Society has in recent years provided diagnostic and treatment equipment for public hospitals.  Heating grants, specialised equipment such as wheelchairs and hospital beds, upgrading of doors, windows and heating systems, sleep systems and similar items have been provided, or assistance has been given to members needing to purchase them.  The society has been instrumental in setting up FESCA, a European organisation incorporating patient support groups throughout the continent. The IRSS has been highly effective in channeling funds to where they are most urgently needed and public awareness of Raynaud’s and scleroderma has increased.
