National Knowledge Week on Osteoarthritis: 1-5 October 2007

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition limiting function and mobility generally in the older patient. A considerable amount of health and social care resource is consumed in the support of OA sufferers. This important topic is examined in the Osteoarthritis National Knowledge Week launched by the Trauma and Orthopaedics Specialist Library, in conjunction with the Musculoskeletal Specialist Library, on the first of October. We hope that you will find something useful that will change the way you meet this challenge whether you work in the community, primary care or the acute sector. Many of the topics we commissioned charted seas of ignorance with our ‘Key Questions’ highlighting gaps in our knowledge awaiting robust exploration!
