Social Care in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Linking Regional Data to Improve Patient Care

A project to improve care for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which will bring local data together to provide new insights into the provision of social care and improve support services. Social care data are often captured poorly, or missing, when considering care delivered by informal care givers. This leads to an incomplete picture when assessing the care needs of patients with RA. By harnessing data, this project will deliver a uniquely important resource for understanding the care needs of patients now and in the future.
