My annual report focuses on health in an ageing society. People are living longer than previous generations. It is something to celebrate but we need to maximise quality of life and minimise the time people spend in ill health. (1/5) gov.uk/government/publicatioโ€ฆ

Marion is a member of the Musculoskeletal Patient Involvement Panel and she shared her thoughts about our #osteoarthritis leaflet. It is lovely to hear that our project can make a difference in people's lives, and contribute to a better understanding of this disease!

A lovely comment from a member of the public after our #arthritis #PatientInvolvement meeting yesterday - as academics we can sometimes find explaining our science challenging but this makes me feel so proud we are starting to get it right @LivuniILCaMS @VersusArthritis
