How to get involved with BSR activities


Our members are fundamental to the work BSR does. Working together enables us to influence, create frameworks of excellence and support local, national and international communities.


If you missed out this time and are keen to get involved, please get in touch. Volunteering with BSR offers many opportunities, from a chance to develop new skills and/or build on existing skills and knowledge to giving something back to the community and making a difference in rheumatology.


BSR's Board of Trustees established a number of committees, each focusing on a different area of work such as policy and the educational programme. We rely on members to volunteer their time, skills and knowledge to help deliver our aims and every year, we recruit new members to bring fresh ideas to these committees.
