England online meetups

Join us for a free online session for people recently diagnosed with axial SpA (within the last three years). You’ll meet other people with axial SpA, get support, and learn ways to manage your condition and the impact it has on your life.

We’ll be covering:

  • What axial SpA is and how it can impact you
  • How axial SpA is managed
  • Practical ways to manage pain and fatigue
  • Creating a flare toolkit
  • Keeping active

This is a practical session with short presentations and plenty of time for attendees to chat with each other. We’ll also be on hand to answer any questions you may have. Please note, we can’t answer specific clinical questions, but we can let you know which healthcare professional to contact for advice.

The session is ideal for people who have been diagnosed with axial SpA in the last three years and are looking for more information about the condition and how to manage it. If you have been diagnosed longer than three years, please join one of our Your SpAce meetups.

When are the sessions?

All of these sessions are the same, we are offering different date options on:

Please only book one session, as spaces are limited. If you become unable to attend the session you’ve booked, you’re welcome to cancel your place and book onto another.
