An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Research Fellow to work on a Nuffield Foundation/ Versus Arthritis funded research study evaluating a remote osteoarthritis peer-mentorship programme for people experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage in supporting self-management of hip and/or knee osteoarthritis.
