3 Rs - Rheuma Research Roadshows (360G-Wellcome-204062_Z_16_Z)

£23,186

A travelling research "roadshow" to showcase current research and to facilitate a dialogue among rheumatology researchers investigating PMR and GCA, patients, carers, GPs and members of the public. PMR and GCA are little-known and under-researched diseases, although they carry a significant burden both to patients and the general economy. This project will simultaneously raise awareness and stimulate research, increasing public understanding of the opportunities and contraints of clinical reseach. It coincides with a period of increasing clinical and public interest generated by the publication of a new set of BSR-NICE guidelines for management of GCA, which will address the problem of loss of sight caused by late diagnosis of GCA. The roadshow will be a programme of linked participative events and workshops taking place at centres of research and rheumatology departments around England and Wales. The roadshow will generate a large quantity of research-related educational material that will be used to build a mass online open-access course (MOOC) to be delivered in partnership with a university on an established platform such as FutureLearn.
