Detailed description
Versus Arthritis are recruiting Patient Voice volunteers to be involved in reviewing and helping to shape the Birmingham and Solihull NHS Trust Musculoskeletal Services. We are looking specifically for people that live with hip or knee osteoarthritis from within the Birmingham and Solihull NHS Trust area.
This role will involve reviewing and providing feedback about referral forms and the musculoskeletal services provided. Training for this role will be provided to you and you will be supported throughout.
What we will provide to volunteers
💸 Reimbursement of costs🤝 Extra supportAbout Versus Arthritis
There are over 10 million people living with arthritis. That’s one in six, with over half of those living in pain every single day. The impact is huge as the condition slowly intrudes on everyday life – affecting the ability to work, care for a family, to move free from pain and to live independently. Yet arthritis is often dismissed as an inevitable part of ageing or shrugged off as ‘just a bit of arthritis’. We don’t think that this is OK. We provide information, exercise, support, research to everyone with arthritis for free to help eradicate the pain people are left to live with.
