Our Charity Partner We are delighted to announce Arthritis Ireland as our Charity Partner for Clinical Audit Awareness Week 2024. Selected from eight nominations put forward by our Patient and Public Interest (PPI) representatives, Arthritis Ireland is the national patient organisation and health research charity representing one million people living with the condition in Ireland. They are represented in NOCA on the Irish National Orthopaedic Register Governance Committee. Throughout the week, we will engage in various awareness and fundraising activities to support this important cause, and we greatly appreciate your involvement and generosity. This initiative is just one way we hope to give back and express our gratitude for the extensive and invaluable work PPIs do across NOCA.
