New year, new episode of #TheRheumatologyPodcast! This week, @DrAiLynTan and @james_gwinnutt discuss:

⭐️ why RA might be linked to cognitive impairment
⭐️ patient involvement
⭐️ how to implement these findings in clinic

This is virtually unheard of! 🤯

UEA is the first university in the UK to provide medical students with their own virtual reality headsets, transporting them into operating theatres, casualty rooms & hospital wards! 🏥

Check out our students using their headsets ⬇️

[Jordan Tsigarides @VRMedicsNorwich]

All students at Norwich Medical School are now able to access immersive 360-degree content through their very own #VR headset! Incredibly proud of this initiative, building the infrastructure to deliver immersive learning experiences through tech. @UeaMed @csra_nnuh @NNUH #MedEd

PROJECT LAUNCH! This week Norwich Medical School have launched possibly the biggest adoption of #VirtualReality for #MedEd in the UK. This has involved the distribution of over 1000 smartphone #VR headsets to give students access to immersive learning experiences! 1/3 @UeaMed

[Centre for Epidemiology Versus Arthritis @CfE_UoM]

#RA is a chronic inflammatory condition that results in swollen joints & #pain. It is also associated with ⬆ risk of other conditions, like #dementia. A recent study found that 60.5% of the people with RA had cognitive impairment.

September is Pain Awareness Month

- persistent pain is more prevalent than heart disease, diabetes, and cancer combined

- suffering is compounded by stigma and pain care disparities

- improved access to low-burden, effective pain treatments is needed worldwide
