Welcome to the homepage for the IMPACT study. Please view our video to find out more about why we are conducting the study and what we intend to do. Our latest newsletter highlights our recent Workshop and quick headlines from the Focus Groups.
Please do consider joining this study if you would like to improve future support for children and young people with rheumatological conditions, and their families. We want to hear from you whatever your experience: good, not so good or indifferent - this will help us learn how we can help others.
Thank you.
Siblings are often excluded from research!
We are currently recruiting siblings (8yrs+) of young people with rheumatological conditions to be involved in the study, we're particularly interested to hear their experiences. If you have one (young adults welcome too), please ask them to get involved, if you are one please get in touch!
