Arthritis Ireland is a health research charity and national patient organisation representing one million people living with arthritis in this country. Our vision is of a better life for people living with arthritis today; a world without arthritis tomorrow. Arthritis Ireland is working in communities across the country providing education and support to help people effectively manage their condition, to remove the pain and social isolation caused by the disease and to ensure people remain active and doing the things they love. We advocate and offer evidence-based solutions to the State to recognise its role and responsibilities to people living with arthritis, as well as investing in research to find better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
