Health inequalities in MSK services are stark. People in deprived areas develop MSK conditions earlier and face worse outcomes. This #BoneAndJointWeek, we must push for truly equitable access to services and better support for those most affected. #JoinedUpForJoints

A future free from arthritis is our mission
About us
Versus Arthritis is the result of the merger of two of the UK’s largest arthritis charities – Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care. Our charity has been created to demand and deliver better for over 10 million people living with arthritis and related conditions in the UK. Our merger took place in November 2017, when we realised could have a bigger impact by combining our strengths. Versus Arthritis will now work tirelessly to defy arthritis and help people live better with the condition through all means possible. From researching new treatments and cures, to the delivery of ongoing care, support and advice as well as campaigning to change perceptions of the condition in society – we won’t stop until no-one has to tolerate the pain, fatigue and isolation of arthritis. This challenge cannot be met alone. Join our network of volunteers, supporters, researchers, healthcare professionals or campaigners today.

It’s World Arthritis Day, a day to celebrate our amazing community of supporters, so many of whom live with #arthritis and #MSK conditions. Thank you for raising awareness and sharing your experiences to help others feel less alone. We know there are still so many people who don’t get the support and advice they need. So, this #WorldArthritisDay let’s make as much noise as possible and remind everyone that we’re in this together. 💜

Yesterday, we took the voices of over 100,000 people who signed our open letter to to 10 Downing Street. For too long, the 10 million people with #arthritis have been ignored and failed by those in power. It was time to demand that the Government makes arthritis a priority. Our incredible campaigners spoke passionately about living with arthritis, sharing their daily challenges and why it's vital that arthritis is taken seriously. We've got lots more to share about this monumental day but first, we wanted to say a huge thank you to every single person who signed our open letter. Your action didn't just help to raise awareness, it put arthritis on the forefront of the agenda yesterday. We can't wait to build on this. We won't rest until everybody can live well with arthritis.

Versus Arthritis reposted this
I am so proud to have spent the last year working on our Versus Arthritis Inspire magazine, a lifestyle magazine for people with arthritis, full of top tips and real life stories on how to navigate life with arthritis. We have an amazing team at CPL One and across the charity who create this publication every three months. We hope our growing number of members continue to enjoy it! Read past editions here - https://lnkd.in/eQVpkWsA You can also sign up to receive our double award winning magazine (!!) four times a year, whilst helping to fund life-changing research, vital support services, and important campaigns, so that one day everyone with arthritis has access to the treatments and support they need to live the life they choose, with real hope of a cure in the future.
Fantastic news! CPL One scooped two gold awards at the Memcom Excellence Awards last night. Inspire magazine for Versus Arthritis won in the Relaunch of the Year category and Tracey was named Editor of the Year, also for Inspire. Congratulations to Tracey Lattimore, Chloe Bage who designs the magazine and everyone else from CPL One and Versus Arthritis who helps make it happen.
