abstract: Treating to target in rheumatoid arthritis means setting defined treatment goals, regularly measuring disease activity and working with, and informing, the patient of these targets at each step. This article discusses the role of the specialist nurse in developing and delivering treatment to target in RA, its impact on patient care and the development of a nurse-led clinic.
