Journal Article
Healey, E. L., Afolabi, E. K., Lewis, M., Edwards, J. J., Jordan, K. P., Finney, A., …Dziedzic, K. S. (2018). Uptake of the NICE osteoarthritis guidelines in primary care: a survey of older adults with joint pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 19, Article 295. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-018-2196-2

Background
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of pain and disability. NICE OA guidelines (2008) recommend that patients with OA should be offered core treatments in primary care. Assessments of OA management have identified a need to improve pri... Read More about Uptake of the NICE osteoarthritis guidelines in primary care: a survey of older adults with joint pain.
