Welcome to the College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Section - Rheumatology website! We hope it will inspire you to be proactive regarding sharing your ideas and knowledge, and assist with the development of your practice.
It is the aim of the Specialist Section to keep its members up to date with regular news items via this web page. Members are welcome to add any relevant news items.
Dear colleagues,
Please find an outline of the ARMA "Standards of Care for Children and young people" (24KB
*)
This is a new initiative in addition to the diagnosis based Standards of Care Guidance produced so far by ARMA. It would be great if there is a member(s) of our organisation with a special interest in paediatric Arthtitis who would consider being involved in this project. We have achieved this for the other SOC working parties so far.
Please contact myself caroline.mountain@porthosp.nhs.uk or the ARMA co-ordinator for this project.
