Health Information Week - Arthritis

Health Information Week is a national, multi-sector campaign promoting high-quality information for 
patients and the public.

The theme for the final Health Information Week post is all about arthritis, a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in a joint that affects around 10 million people in the UK.

There are lots of good quality online resources aimed at patients and the public focused on understanding and living with arthritis. 

• NHS UK: Arthritis  www.nhs.uk/conditions/arthritis/
• The Patient website information on different types of arthritis: https://patient.info/bones-joints-muscles/arthritis
• Versus Arthritis are the main UK charity supporting people living with arthritis and they have lots of information on their web site which you can find here www.versusarthritis.org/

You can find a complete list of resources, including more links and a suggested reading list on the Health Information Week web site here.

We hope you have found our posts for Health Information Week useful. Remember NHFT and NGH staff can always contact one of the libraries if you are looking for good quality information to support your patients.
