The Insitute was formed in 1965 as the Mathilda and Terrence Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology. It is one of the flagships of the Arthritis Research UK and is still closely linked to the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology Trust (KirTrust) which became a separate entity after a merger with Imperial College London. The Institute joined Oxford University in August 2011, becoming part of the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS).
