About me
Dr Mwidimi Ndosi is Associate Professor in Rheumatology Nursing at the University of the West of England, Bristol, and Honorary Professor of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures and Health Education in Rheumatology at Aarhus University.
His PhD at the University of Leeds was a nationwide multicentre randomised controlled trial examining the outcomes of nurse-led care for people with rheumatoid arthritis. His current research focuses on health outcomes, patient education, and non-pharmacological interventions for people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, and has published widely in these domains.
As an educator, he leads the MRes in Health and Care Research at UWE Bristol, funded through the NIHR INSIGHT Programme. He teaches on Research Methods and Methodology, Preparation for Health and Care Research and Quantitative Health and Care Research modules, all of which aim to enable health and care professionals understand the nature of research evidence and its application for informing practice and policy. In addition, he supervises postgraduate research and mentors early career researchers.
Dr Ndosi has contributed to several European taskforces to develop evidence-based recommendations to guide practice in rheumatology: (i) recommendations for the non-pharmacological management of SLE and SSc (ii) recommendations for the role of nurses in inflammatory arthritis (iii) recommendations for patient education in inflammatory arthritis (iv) recommendations for generic core competences for rheumatology health professionals and (v) standardised procedures for implementing recommendations.
He has served in leadership roles within both the British Society for Rheumatology and the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology, including service on multiple committees and, most recently, as Chair of the EULAR Health Professionals in Rheumatology Committee (2021–2025).
His contributions have been recognised through prestigious awards, including the EULAR Honorary Award in Rheumatology, the Droitwich Award from the British Society for Rheumatology for outstanding contributions to health professionals in rheumatology, and the Arthritis Research UK/RCN Silver Medal Prize.
