British Society for Rheumatology

Who We Are

The British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) is the leading specialist medical society in the UK dedicated to rheumatology. Founded in 1984, we were established to unite experts in the care of patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders. The society serves as a critical resource for education, research, and advocacy in its field, bringing together a diverse range of professionals including rheumatologists, nurses, allied health practitioners, and academics.

With a dedicated team of 59 professionals, we work to advance the specialty of rheumatology and ensure that patients across the UK receive the highest standard of care for conditions affecting joints, bones, and connective tissues.

Our Values and Mission

At BSR, our mission is to improve patient care through collaboration, innovation, and evidence-based policy. We champion integrity, inclusivity, and continuous professional development as the cornerstones of everything we do. By supporting high-quality clinical education, research initiatives, and effective lobbying, we help shape a future where every patient receives the best possible care.

Our collaborative spirit ensures that the voices of patients, carers, and professionals are always heard. We believe that by working together across disciplines and with patient communities, we can drive meaningful change in rheumatology care and outcomes.
