The Cluster Consortium

The Cluster Consortium is a 5 year Medical Research Council Project which ran until summer 2024. Its aim was to make long term impacts on the treatment of JIA and uveitis. You can read more about their vision and mission here: https://www.clusterconsortium.org.uk/about-us-2/

You can read accessible versions of all their research publications and findings here: https://www.clusterconsortium.org.uk/our-findings-and-publications/

The latest paper (May 2025) from the Cluster Consortium, not yet on their website, can be found here. It relates to the search for ways to predict whether an individual child will respond to methotrexate or not.

Research Webinar – recording available!

Many of you joined us online for the Cluster Consortium webinar back in October. We promised to bring you the recording for anyone who was not able to make it or who would like to watch again.

We hope you enjoy it and following very positive feedback, Cluster hope to run another next year. As always, keep an eye on our social media for details of this and other events that may be of interest to you and your family.
