Editor’s comments This novel and productive approach to gaining an understanding of rheumatoid arthritis from the patient’s perspective is well worth reading. The concept could be extended to other patient and client groups as the orthopaedic nurse strives to include patients more in the care offered and provided. Although these particular patient experiences are no longer available on the updated website others are and also increasingly on other patient/client led websites.
