Welcome to this website which
we hope will help you make decisions about your care, help you to cope
with your arthritis but importantly help you to know what questions you
need to ask when you see a healthcare professional, the standards of care
you should expect and treatments available.
This website is reviewed regularly but importantly only recommends
information that is recognised by specialists in the field of rheumatology.
We hope this will be of some help as the vast array of websites can be a
confusing and also time consuming. For many people they may feel more
confused after ‘googling’ than you were before you started!
This website has been developed to help
people seeking advice about different types of arthritis by providing some
basic information but importantly to direct you to reputable and
recognised links to other resources and information that are
professionally recognised. |
