The ARMA Standards of Care project progresses with exciting developments ahead.

Audit Tools

ARMA was delighted to learn that there have been many clinicians and health professionals up and down the country already developing audit tools, to audit their service against the Standards of Care. To make their job easier and to enable comparable auditing processes, ARMA has established teams to develop audit tools for the first three Standards for inflammatory arthritis, back pain and osteoarthritis.
