A huge thank you to those researchers, clinicians, allied health professionals, consumers and health policy makers, who joined us at the Tasmanian Musculoskeletal Summit in Hobart on Saturday; who shared their insights, and made the event such a massive success. The energy in the room was inspiring, and the conversations around improving arthritis and musculoskeletal health in Tasmania showed just how passionate and driven this community is.

This event would not have been possible without the support of St Lukes, RHH Research Foundation; Clifford Craig; Kieser Hobart; Menzies Institute for Medical Research; Australian Rheumatology Association (VIC/TAS) Branch; and the University of Tasmania

Today is World Arthritis Day and an opportune time to rethink osteoarthritis. This free online event will explore what we think we know about osteoarthritis (OA), and what the evidence actually tells us. Presented by the SAHMRI (South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute) Persistent Pain Research Group. Link to join in the comments or scan the QR code included.

Did you know that Tasmania has some of the longest joint replacement wait times in the country, and one of the highest rates of opioid prescriptions? But surgery and painkillers aren't the only options for people with osteoarthritis.

This Thursday, from 10:00 - 11:00 AM, join Associate Professor Dawn Aitken in person or online for an eye-opening look at how exercise is often underused as a first-line treatment for osteoarthritis, and how physiotherapy programs could ease pressure on our health system while helping people stay active, mobile, and pain-free for longer.

Whether you're managing joint pain yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about better ways to age well, join us for this thought-provoking talk.
