British Society for Rheumatology

The British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) is the UK’s leading specialist medical society for professionals working in rheumatology and musculoskeletal care. Its work supports clinicians, researchers and the wider professional community through education, guidance, research and opportunities to collaborate. BSR offers conferences, courses, webinars and eLearning, including curriculum-based training designed to build core rheumatology skills through expert teaching and practical cases. Members can access special interest groups, regional networks, awards, bursaries and career resources for roles such as rheumatologist, specialist nurse, physiotherapist, podiatrist, occupational therapist, pharmacist and academic researcher.

The society also supports improvements in patient care through clinical guidelines, audits, service frameworks, registers and quality initiatives, including work focused on paediatric and adolescent care. Its publications include the journals Rheumatology, Rheumatology Advances in Practice and Musculoskeletal Care, alongside podcasts and news covering professional and policy developments. BSR provides information about its leadership, values and activities, and invites professionals to join, participate in events and contribute to advancing rheumatology services across the UK.
