We are recruiting people with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or juvenile idiopathic arthritis to join the TOPPIA Patient Advisory Group and the TOPPIA Young Persons Patient Advisory Group.
TOPPIA – Targeting Of Peripheral Pain in Inflammatory Arthritis – is a UK-wide research programme, funded by Arthritis UK and focused on understanding and addressing persistent joint pain in inflammatory arthritis. We want patient voices at the centre of our advocacy work, communication and decision making.
We are looking for people who:
- Live with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), or Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and experience ongoing joint pain.
- Are aged 12 or over (under-18s can take part with parental consent).
- Can join regular online meetings (around six per year) for up to five years.
- Are interested in sharing their experiences to help shape research and improve care.
You do not need any research or clinical experience to take part. We welcome people from all backgrounds, including young people and those from communities underrepresented in research. If you have access or communication needs, we are happy to discuss how we can support you.
You do need to be able to join regular online meetings (around six per year) for up to five years.
To express your interest, please complete this form.
The deadline to apply is 23 November 2026.
