Working for the charity Versus Arthritis, but my views are my own. Supporting people have better conversations about their health.

I'm super proud of my @VersusArthritis media & policy team colleagues who worked with @ITVTonight on their longest queue programme. Particular shout out to: Dr Benjamin Ellis our clinical lead, @zoechivers our Director of Services & Mary Cowern our Head of @CymruVArthritis 🥰

[Deborah Alsina @DeborahAlsina]

So proud @VersusArthritis was a key funder of the research for Escape Pain.

We also have loads of resources to help people exercise too.

Watch to see our case studies talk through their experience of waiting in pain for joint replacement surgery.

[Arthritis UK @arthritisukorg]

Can you imagine 1 million people whose lives are on hold due to severe pain?

It’s unimaginable but is a reality for people with #arthritis waiting for joint replacement surgery and treatment.

We made it happen! Lauren Bennie @VersusArthritis said:

"If the FM's announcement delivers what it promises, it'll be a reflection of the hard work & campaigning of Versus Arthritis, HCPs & people with #arthritis. This could be the start of meaningful change on waiting times.”

[Arthritis UK @arthritisukorg]

Too often people hold back from talking about #arthritis. It doesn't have to be this way. Tomorrow, on #WorldArthritisDay, help us change the way the world sees arthritis. #MyArthritisMyStory

[Lauren Bennie @Lauren_BennieUK]

A unique day at #HolyroodPalace for afternoon tea in the rain with Their Majesties, Royal Archers, politicians & #community champions.

@VersusArthritis was superbly represented with @ScotVArthritis staff, volunteers, our former Board Chair & leading academics in attendance.

[Arthritis UK @arthritisukorg]

Our staff and campaigners ready to greet MPs and discuss the impact of #arthritis on their constituents.

[Lauren Bennie @Lauren_BennieUK]

Chuffed to bits that @VersusArthritis is the chosen charity for @GlasgowPiping Big Band 2023.

1.7 million people in Scotland with #arthritis & other musculoskeletal conditons.

Every penny raised will help @ScotVArthritis move a step closer to a future free from arthritis.

[Sara Graham @stripeycushion]

We’ve written to Secretary of State Chris Heaton Harris, but just to be sure, we had our @NIVArthritis volunteer @LoyalTracey speak with him in person. And if you know Tracey, she didn’t hold back!#checkourblog @VersusArthritis

[Arthritis UK @arthritisukorg]

We want to wish our fantastic virtual and in-person @LondonMarathon runners, a massive GOOD LUCK for Sunday. You've put in the hard work and dedication to get to this moment and we are so grateful to everyone running in support of us and people with arthritis.

#WeRunTogether

[Zoe Chivers @zoechivers]

Looking forward to working on our new strategy. We need to do more people with arthritis and there is a lot to do!

[Arthritis UK @arthritisukorg]

We want a future free from arthritis.

Over 10 million people in the UK have #arthritis. They are too often left untreated and unsupported. We want to change that, and we won't rest until we do.

A policy kind of a day with a focus on the Government's new major conditions strategy. Arthritis & other MSK conditions finally a priority as they should be. They impact the lives of over 20m people. Staggering really.

[Zoe Chivers @zoechivers]

Sore feet and Blisters but did it. Thanks for the support everyone xx

[Zoe Chivers @zoechivers]

Ready as I'll ever be! @LondonLandmarks @VersusArthritis
