BSR BIOLOGICS REGISTER (BSRBR)
In 2001, BSR set up a Biologics Register after NICE issued guidance on anti-TNFα therapies for rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of the Register is to monitor the long-term safety of biologic agents in patients with rheumatic diseases. A ground-breaking project, it is the only study of its kind in Europe.
