Policy Forum

   ARMA Policy Forum

The ARMA Policy Forum exists to create a strategic level body to discuss matters of policy and service commission related to the Arthrutis and Musculkeletal community.

The Forum has the following mission statement:

‘To work with all sectors of devolved, national, regional and local government;  primary care clinical staff, commisioning bodies, public and private sectors to improve the understanding of, and commitment to, and the importance of high quality services to people effected by Arthritis and Musculoskeletal conditions in the United Kingdom.’

 Underpinning this mission are the following aims:

Acting as an advocacy body to promote and communicate the scope of diverse views that exist, what consensus might be achieved and who the relevant specialists are.

Encouraging national, devolved, regional and local government to strengthen their commitment to the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal community and its development of relevant policy and strategy, the identification of appropriate research and the dissemination and highlighting of good practice.
