Some examples of our recent corporate partnerships

Arthritis Care has developed a new partnership with the the UK’s leading health and beauty retailer Boots

In 2005, we worked with Boots’ pharmacy division to produce and distribute an educational pack on arthritis for their pharmacists and also a customer leaflet. More than 60 per cent of Boots stores took part in the initiative which resulted in an increase in calls to Arthritis Care’s helpline and a notable increase in visits to Boots’ pharmacy website.

"This project has enabled our pharmacists to offer people with arthritis useful lifestyle advice and additional support to help them manage their condition more effectively."

Julie Hanmer, Programme Manager, Pharmacy Development, Boots Plc

Arthritis Care has a long standing partnership with Pfizer which aims to raise awareness of osteoarthritis and the significant impact it has on day-to-day life

In 2004, we launched OA Nation, a report about the effects of osteoarthritis on people’s daily lives, funded by an educational grant from Pfizer. The launch of the report received wide-spread media coverage through local and national newspapers, TV and radio, reaching over 35 million people.
