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.

These sessions are ideal for people who have been diagnosed with axial SpA in the last three years and you’re 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?

We currently have two different date on offer, but both sessions are the same, so please only book onto one:

The sessions run 18.00-19.30, but we’ll stay on after the call for 30 minutes to answer any other questions.

If you can’t attend either of these dates, email zoe@nass.co.uk so we can let you know about other sessions in 2025.

If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please email zoe@nass.co.uk

Look forward to seeing you there!
