On Friday the 29th of May, Your Rheum hosted its first online meeting via zoom. All in all it was a great success and we had over 12 participants from all over the UK!

We decided to organise this meeting, so that we could still engage young people in research and listen to their views/opinions whilst on lockdown. We talked through the current and upcoming opportunities available through Your Rheum and a bunch of external activities that young people may find useful.

One of the research team also joined us, to go into detail about their project and how exactly people could feed into developing the work.

We are currently working on trying to organize another meeting and as soon as we have decided on a date/time, an email will be sent round to members, the website will be updated and a Facebook group post will be added! If you would be interested in taking part in the next meeting, you can also email: your.rheum@manchester.ac.uk
