Do you live with arthritis or support someone who does?

Then join us at a local Arthritis Engagement Event & Talk to learn how research is transforming the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, preventing infections after knee/hip replacements, and improving care for lower back pain, and to engage with us as we look at support services in your community and identify the services that are needed in the future.

The event is open to people with arthritis, their carers, health care professionals or anyone with an interest.

Let’s build the future of providing the right services for People with Arthritis together.

This is a free event, but please ensure you are able to attend before booking as places are limited.
