“Harnessing a collective focus to transform MSK services”


CEO update by Sue Brown:
Let’s all get on the bandwagon together


Ensuring we have the right workforce to meet the growing health needs of an ageing population is a real challenge. ARMA’s different professional members have a lot to contribute, as I discovered when I spent a day at the Royal College of Chiropractors conference.

WORD Day – 18 March 2019

A few words from me…

Because this is a late addition to the site I will let you know that the first ever WORDDay2019 was a fantastic success at raising awareness for young people that get rheumtic diseases. FibroFlutters spent the day spreading the WORD via Twitter and Facebook to help get the messages out there from a whole range of organisations who were part of the campaign.

Later on Simon Stones & Jordan Canning both hosted their first ever Twitter chat for WORDDay which was also a great success as really great discussions and conversations were had. Again we joined in with that and thoroughly enjoyed the interactions.

You can keep up to date with Simon and Jordon on twitter via their twitter links given below:
