National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society (NASS)
NASS was founded as a registered charity by patients, doctors and physiotherapists in 1975 at The Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath. The hospital was (and still is) treating groups of patients on a three week (now two) intensive physiotherapy programme. The early groups of patients realised the value of patient education which they were receiving through wide-ranging discussions between themselves and the medical staff. They were therefore stimulated to form a committee of a society whose main objective, through various ways, would influence a better disease outcome in their fellow spondylitics. The society has attracted over 15,000 members since 1975, and over 8,000 of them are still active members. Comments: 0; Added: 04-10-2007)
