Jobs help for arthritis sufferers
A project aiming to get more people with arthritis into the workplace has been launched after a survey found almost seven out of 10 sufferers cannot hold down full-time jobs.
The Working with Arthritis programme, run in conjunction with Arthritis Ireland, FÁS training agency and healthcare giant Abbott, aims to provide practical support for people with the debilitating condition who wish to remain in or return to the workforce.
