Very interesting and inspirational lectures, I cannot wait to listen to the next 2 lectures in a quiet moment. I think we need inspiration at a time when our profession is under attack from many quarters. How can we be better doctors / Rheumatologists? I don’t have the answers but I am keen to continue trying.

Despite mild hip pain (playing football with kids yesterday) I finished. Certainly well off 90 mins for half marathon so doubling sponsorship money unlikely this point. I am sure will feel better soon. First need ice…..for hip and drink

The primary research team met in Belfast yesterday with the support of Arthritis Research UK and the study should provide insight into the benefits of Physiotherapy for this complex condition. It will definitely help provide an alternative to the over-medication of patients with this chronic condition. Watch this space for regular up dates on the study.
