Osteoarthritis online resources with Dr Jillian Eyles and Dr Jocelyn Bowden

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to shift how we deliver care to those living with osteoarthritis. There has been an increasing number of online resources including websites, decision aids, remotely delivered programs and podcasts such as Joint Action which have become increasingly popular in the past year. With the numerous resources available, how do we know which programs are suitable and evidence-based?

The OARSI Joint Effort Initiative is a collaboration between international clinicians and researchers with an interest in the implementation of OA management programs. Their aim is to improve overall care with a focus on core interventions such as education, exercise and weight management.

On this episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Dr Jillian Eyles and Dr Jocelyn Bowden to discuss the OARSI Joint Effort Initiative and online resources for osteoarthritis.
