@VersusArthritis 10. The PROMOTE study clinical trial

Last week @HWLeeds vols worked with staff & #volunteers from @LeedsHospitals to conduct Patient-Led Assessments of the Care Environment (PLACE) inspections. This was a good example of us working in partnership with trust colleagues to assess the quality of the patient environment

Loved spending time with our @versusarthritis Services & Influencing directorate in Manchester today. I enjoyed the energy, ideas and determination to increase our impact further. Here's the team practising what we preach and doing some physical activity as part of our day 😍🙌

We know that there are huge delays in receiving treatment and surgery for #arthritis, and #SocialPrescribing is vital in ensuring that everyone living with #MSK conditions gets the support they deserve and to live well while they wait. #SocialPrescribingDay @NASPTweets

What a fantastic article! We had the pleasure of seeing Louise give a talk at the @RheumatologyUK conference, so it is wonderful seeing her important message reaching a wider audience 👏

📢Research opportunity 📢 We are looking for participants over the age of 18 who have inflammatory arthritis. Many individuals with inflammatory arthritis experience symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness and fatigue which can fluctuate.

Did you know that 1 in 8 people (12.1%) in England report living with at least two long-term conditions, one of which is MSK related? These findings are taken from The State of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Health Report 2023: bit.ly/3r7xssB

@OsteopathLondon @AnjuJaggi advice should be on a billboard!! "There is also a strong correlation between grip strength and shoulder strength. If you work on your grip, it will have a knock-on effect for helping your shoulder."

"Discomfort can often prompt the avoidance of movement for fear of causing harm, but waiting to be pain-free before gently exercising is a mistake, as it leads to slower healing, weakness & vulnerability." @OsteopathLondon 🙏👏
