New video about The Norfolk Arthritis Register (NOAR)

[Victoria-NRAS]

What is NOAR?

The Norfolk Arthritis Register (NOAR) is a large community-based, long-term observational study investigating the cause and outcome of inflammatory polyarthritis (inflammation and swelling of the joints). NOAR is based at the University of East Anglia and works in collaboration with the Department of Rheumatology at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH). The purpose of the Register is to study the natural history of inflammatory arthritis and to identify genetic and non-genetic factors which may be related to the onset of inflammatory arthritis, response to treatment, and long-term outcomes.

NOAR have recently created the following YouTube video, to tell you more about the register and how to get involved: youtu.be/uDdRx2-zubY(Not working as expected?)
