We are running monthly talks, initially online via Zoom, for health researchers to share their ideas, studies and results with patients and the wider public on research into bone, muscle and joint problems. The webinar is aimed at patients and public members; you do not need any specialist knowledge to join the talk. We would love for you to join us. As well as hearing about our work, we would appreciate your input on these research studies. We might ask you to give your ideas on:

– Research design and patient commitment required
– Identifying ways in which studies could be improved
– Encouraging diversity and inclusivity of access to research activities – Helping researchers communicate the findings in a way everybody can understand

This month Ben Dean will speak about “Improving treatment for people with base of thumb osteoarthritis”. Leila Heelas will sharing her research ideas on “The experiences of people attending a pain rehabilitation service and do patient reported measures predict outcome of treatment”.
