Your Rheum researcher information
Your Rheum is a UK-wide young persons advisory group for people aged 11-24 years, who have volunteered to provide their thoughts, ideas and opinions on current adolescent and young adult rheumatology research. Please have a read of the website for further information on the group’s background and set-up.
Your Rheum can help you with all stages of your research project from generating research questions, writing the grant application, through to evaluating the impact of your research.
We believe in a collaborative approach between the group and research and so you will engage the group as a partner.
