The organisation formerly known as Arthritis Research Campaign (ARC) is a British medical research charity dedicated to curing arthritis.
ARC, which had been founded originally as the Empire Rheumatism Council in 1936, changed its name to Arthritis Research UK in 2010 as part of a drive to raise the profile of Arthritis research and the organisation itself. It has also reduced the potential for confusion with a plethora of other charitable groups using the 'arc' initials.
