Capsie is the mascot for the Childhood Arthritis Prospective Study (CAPS) and follows the CAPS researchers on their travels to conferences around the world.
The voices of young people are at the heart of everything we do. We ensure through our work that their views are listened to and that they are empowered to help bring about change on issues that affect them. Happy #InternationalYouthDay#empoweringyoungpeoplechangingcommunities

On the 30th of November, 13 year old Alfie is taking the plunge alongside 3 aquatic amigos to raise money for JIA at NRAS, in support of his younger brother Austin (age 9) who has JIA.
We wish them all the best with their 400 lengths target!

Results:
Finding a novel association to a SNP in the intron of CCDC101 - a gene involved in transcription regulation through histone acetyltransferase.
Also some interesting research plans in this area!!

#WearPurpleforJIA is such a fantastic excuse to raise funds and awareness of JIA. Here is a photo of Erin who was diagnosed with the condition when she was 3. Back in 2018 Erin took on a run in Leeds with her Mum, to raise awareness of the condition! #ThrowbackThursday

Dr Katie Harrison reminds us to inspire young people to engage more in sports, as participation for those with JIA and other rheum conditions is below average for YP. They can fall in a gap, neither qualifying for parasport nor keeping up in mainstream sport #BSPAR19 ^PW
Come to poster 22 to chat about the impact of JIA on Health-Related Quality of Life over time. Data from CAPS #BSPAR19 @VersusArthritis @UoMMskResearch
Peer support is very important. Nice to see the latest AYA clinical practice handbook being quoted @DrJMcD & Rachel... You can still buy your copy online at a competitive price :) AND read the words directly from young people too!!
