Rheumatic Musculoskeletal Diseases (RMDs) such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis affect >18 million people in the UK, account for 1 in 5 of GP consultations and have poorer outcomes in lower socioeconomic and minority populations.

Inflammatory RMDs are associated with multi-morbidity, premature mortality and have treatment non-response rates >30%.

Osteoarthritis (OA) and chronic back pain lack effective disease modifying interventions, yet account for more working-age disability than any other disease.

The Centre for Musculoskeletal Research (a European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology Centre of Excellence) hosts two Versus Arthritis Centres of Excellence (Genetics & Genomics; Epidemiology) and the RMD arm of the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (MBRC).This post is funded by the MBRC to assist coordination of studies investigating prevention and better treatments for RMDs.
