The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society
The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) is the only patient-led organisation in the UK specialising in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Due to its targeted focus on RA and JIA, NRAS provides truly expert and wide-ranging services to support, educate and campaign for people living with these complex autoimmune conditions and their families.
About The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society
The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) is a leading, independent UK charity; we represent and support almost half-a-million adults living with Rheumatoid Arthritis. We also support thousands of young people and adults living with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).
NRAS was founded in 2001 by Ailsa Bosworth MBE, who now acts as NRAS National Patient Champion, having led the charity as CEO for 18 years.
We raise awareness, advocate for improvements to NHS care, and we support research by providing a patient voice. We offer individuals a range of services, helping them over their lifetimes as their symptoms and needs fluctuate.
We support the newly diagnosed, providing educational resources, guidance, and reassurance, when people are thriving under treatment, we help them safely self-manage their health. Should anyone feel unable to cope or unable to work, perhaps due to pain or fatigue, we lend them support.
Our vision is for ‘a future where everyone with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis can thrive.’
We take pride in the fact that everything we stand for and do is patient-led. Our small but dedicated team works closely with healthcare professionals, researchers, and our own advisory boards to deliver high quality, reliable resources.
We are extremely grateful for the support we get from our amazing volunteers, our membership and the many people who support us financially.
