Does ‘remission’ in RA sound misleading to you? 🤔 Many think it means the disease is gone, but that’s not always the case. Let’s talk about it—drop your thoughts in the comments! 💬👇

@GCUPodiatry Gordon Donaldson delivering a short paper @RoyColPod national Conference. Start of a research journey on patient conversations without fear based messaging and therefore without the word ‘remission’ . Loved it. @RuthBarn @Gordon_Hendry

How are messages around "active ulceration" portrayed in health leaflets and by podiatrists/diabetologists? Important research that may be of interest to people who have diabetes and who have or have had a foot ulcer/wound @DiabetesScot @footindiabetes @RoyColPod @MyDiabetesMyWay

you don't have to travel to Keele! This is the largest and most sophisticated trial of treatments for heel pain ever attempted in the UK. Plantar heel pain can be debilitating and can persist for a long time. You can take action today. Take steps to get back to whatever you 4/5
