Arthritis web network live

AN ONLINE support network has been launched for arthritis sufferers in the Lothians.

The free resource was unveiled at the Scottish Parliament, and has been backed by senior politicians and patients groups.

It is estimated around a fifth of people in the area suffer from some form of arthritis, and Connect Scotland wants to reach out to as many of them as possible. To visit the site, go to www.arthritis-care-connect.org.uk/scotland.
