Thank you @VersusArthritis for posting about our new film #YourVoiceMatters 🙂 The film was made by people living with pain, including arthritis to help people feel less alone - and to show why their voices are essential for research 🎥 youtu.be/TVnDWNlHcOo?si=Kp8c…
Getting involved in #research can feel out of reach - especially for people most affected by #ChronicPain. Your Voice Matters shows how lived experience makes research stronger, more relevant, and more inclusive: youtube.com/watch?v=TVnDWNlH… @DrSAHarrisson @KeeleUniversity

New paper from #PROMPPT People living with persistent pain recognised the value of pharmacist expertise in medicines management but wanted to know that they had sufficient resource to support them for example, with non-pharmacological approaches. @KeelePain #KeeleMSK
