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: https://t.co/l8DxhpxeT4
We couldn’t agree more, @DrRanj!
Great piece on @BBCMorningLive looking at the enormous value of rehabilitation after injury and for people living with a health condition.

@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 🙏👏
We did it! First 2 participants seen in the Treadon trial @Keele_CTU to explore different treatments for plantar heel pain. A great collaboration between First contact Physio, Podiatry and the research teams @foxcroftphysio@LCHNHSTrust@mjthomas287
