All you need for recruiting participants to BSRBR-RA can be found on our registration page.
Whether your patient is new to the register or already participating; there is a guide to which drugs we are currently recruiting (including the latest adalimumab biosimilars) and all the forms and documents you will need for both new or re-registrations.
If you still have questions about eligibility and recruitment please contact us.
We’re looking for a Research Software Engineer to join the University of Manchester Research IT Team @UoM_eResearch and work with a friendly team of epidemiological researchers on exciting web development www.bsrbr.org. Full details HERE; apply soon as the closing date is 26th FEB 2019.
With many biosimilars on the market we would like to remind you of the importance of using the drug trade names when completing clinical follow up. Without the trade name it makes it difficult for us to get a full picture of the patient’s treatment history, including knowing which drug they were on at the time of any adverse event.
Dates of changes are also important, please let us know the date of the last dose of the previous drug as well as the new start date. We understand this can be difficult if the patient is starting a new prescription via home delivery or has an old prescription that needs to be used first, but even a month and year can be useful to us rather than a missing date.
If you really can’t get you hands on the information please let us know by making a note on the form so that we do not repeatedly contact you for missing information.

Biologics Registers Stand
Come along and say hello to members of our team at our stand. We will have lots of information updates and our team are also eager to answer any questions you have about the register!
Annual statements will be arriving soon; these will update how your centre is doing in terms of recruitment and follow up. Please remember to update us with contact details and get in touch with any queries you have about your statement.
Now is also a good time to make sure those involved with the collecting of data at your centre are included on our contributors list. This is a list of ALL rheumatologists/ nurses/ allied health professionals who have EVER contributed clinical date to the BSRBR-RA since it began in 2001.
