NRAS WorkWise Workshops
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) can affect all aspects of a person's life, including their ability to work. Despite the challenges, most people with RA CAN and Do work.
Work is very important in our lives not just from a financial point of view but it has been proven that work is good for our health. It's good for your self esteem, your social life and your happiness!
NRAS are running a series of employment workshops for people living with RA who are currently working. The evening workshops will give you the opportunity to:
- Listen to experts on employment law and occupational therapy
