WHAT WE DO

EARLS is a non-profit, independent alliance of national patient organizations from various European countries which engages in activities that contribute to raising awareness of Restless Legs Syndrome.

EARLS raises important issues at a European level, issues which are common to all members. Our role as a European patient advocacy group is to promote:

• Better and more rapid diagnosis
• Appropriate treatment and care for people with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
• Improvement of the quality of life of people with RLS and their families
• Raise public awareness and understanding of RLS among the public, the medical profession and (inter)national policy and decision makers
• Eliminating prejudice and misunderstanding about RLS
• Ensure priority given to RLS by policy and decision makers
• Coordinate/help the efforts of national RLS patient groups throughout Europe
• Collaborate with the European Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (EURLSSG)
