The Gloucestershire Arthritis Trust (GAT) has agreed to fund study grants for the Gloucestershire NHS Rheumatology Team aimed at the professional educational development of the nursing team to enable them to provide the most evidence-based and up-to-date care for patients. In the past year they have supported nurses to attend an Injection training course organised by the University of the West of England and the two-day British Society of Rheumatology conference in Manchester.
In return, the nurses are undertaking a 21-mile sponsored walk in late September with a target of £2,000 which GAT will set aside for the upcoming year’s Study Grants.
