Streaming Well and National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society Team up to Promote Awareness

Oct. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Patient education video producer and distributor Streaming Well today announced a collaboration with the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) to promote awareness of the need for early diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Streaming Well and NRAS have together produced a video tied into the S-Factor poster campaign which highlights the urgent need for people with possible early signs and symptoms of RA to seek urgent medical help.
“The NRAS has been incredibly effective at improving the lives of people living with RA” said Streaming Well CEO Francis Namouk, “This video will give people the information they need so that they are likely to seek help at an earlier stage and hopefully get referred for diagnosis more rapidly”.
Speaking about the video, NRAS Chief Executive and RA sufferer, Ailsa Bosworth said: “This video tells the story of Jean, an NRAS volunteer who was not diagnosed in time to prevent some permanent joint damage. Our goal is to raise public awareness of RA and ensure that everyone has access to the best care available”.
The video appears on the NRAS website and the website of Arthritis Research UK as well as on Streaming Well’s healthcare information website and across the Streaming Well Health Network.
