Our Free Services

NRAS provides free information and support to your patients, you and your colleagues. By utilising the NRAS services for your RA or JIA patients you will be providing evidenced based quality information and supported self management resources that help you meet the NICE Quality Standards.

Right Start

Right Start supports all those living with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) to understand their condition and how it is likely to affect them. By referring your patients to NRAS, you will be connecting them to friendly, trained empathetic staff who will provide tailored, evidence-based information as well as offering peer support at an individual and/or community level. Refer all your RA patients to this vital service.

To better explain the Right Start process, we will be holding two webinars in June and July, click here for more details.

Helpline

The Helpline is here to let your patients know that they don’t have to face it alone by offering information and emotional support for those with RA and Adult JIA as well as families with a child with JIA. Our Helpline staff reinforce your key clinical messaging especially about the importance of adherence to treatment.

The staff are not medically trained, so are not able to give specific medical advice, however they are trained to provide callers with the most current information, give emotional support, discuss the impacts RA has on work and relationships and help people understand more about the disease and the treatments available.
