Your chance as a patient to influence

future research

The Arthritis Research Campaign (arc) has recently changed their strategy for funding clinical trials. Clinical Studies Groups (CSGs) have been set up in 6 clinical areas and one of these is Spondyloarthritis (SpA). The SpA group of diseases includes ankylosing spondylitis, of course.

The aim of the CSGs is to produce an effective strategy for clinical studies in this area in the future. Patient involvement is seen by arc as an important part of this process. Two patients with AS and the Director of NASS have been invited to attend CSG meetings.

You have a unique opportunity to put forward any ideas on what you think, as a patient, should be considered as a research priority for the future. NASS will feed this information into the CSG meetings.

Please send in your ideas by completing the very short questionnaire using the link below:
