威尔士的信息日和当前服务

威尔士的团队已开始向医疗保健专业人员，第三部门组织和关节炎患者提供信息日。到目前为止，在全国范围内已经进行了五次会议，其中一些会议吸引了50多人。

The information days have included presentations from physiotherapists and occupational therapists, exercise sessions including yoga and tai chi, and discussions with volunteers sharing their experiences of living with arthritis and pain and self-management tools and techniques.

Feedback received has been very positive with many health care professionals making referrals to Versus Arthritis to enable people to access our services including self-management sessions, information sessions/events, support/activity groups, 1:1 support, tailored workshops for people with arthritis and health care professionals, signposting to local services and opportunities to volunteer within the community.

Current services:

Our Living Well and CWTCH (Communities Working Together Can Help) support services work alongside people with arthritis, community groups, health, and social care professionals to deliver a framework of support across four key themes:

• 疼痛管理
• self-management
• 体力活动
• 共同的决策

Our delivery model is aligned to the following principles:

• Focus on people- 确保关节炎患者对他们的护理和支持有声音和控制。
• Wellbeing– supporting people to improve and maintain their well-being.
• Prevention and early intervention- 增加预防和早期干预服务的选择。
• Partnership- 促进研究人员，机构和组织之间有效的合作和合作伙伴关系，以最佳满足关节炎患者的需求。
• 可访问性– improving the information and advice available to people and ensuring that people with arthritis can access that information.

Our services aim to:

• 通过提供在社区中建立联系和社交的机会来解决孤独和孤立。
• Promote and facilitate independence – by building individuals’ capacity to access trusted and validated information, advice, and assistance.
• 通过支持人们管理自己的状况和生活，在个人和社区中建立韧性。

更多的年代essions are planned in the next few months. If you are interested in attending an information day or would like to learn more about the services currently being offered in Wales please contactwalessupport@versusulthritis.org, or the Wales office on 08007563970.

New bilingual leaflet for healthcare professionals in Wales

We are pleased to announce that we have recently produced a bilingual leaflet for healthcare professionals, health boards and other stakeholders in health and social care in Wales. The leaflet summarises the wide range of services Cymru Versus Arthritis offers in Wales to help support people living with arthritis.

The leaflet includes details of our Living Well and CWTCH services, our Young People and Families service as well as information about our education and training packages. You can also find out more about the musculoskeletal decision support tools we have recently produced. This suite of support tools reflects recommendations made in the NICE guidance on osteoarthritis, low back pain and sciatica in the over 16s. If you are looking for resources on Physical Activity, the leaflet lists our resources as well as our programmes such as ‘Let’s Move with Leon’.

Finally, using your professional experience, you can help provide insight for our policy and campaigning work at Versus Arthritis- the leaflet gives information on how to get involved.
