If you would normally seek out written health information, are not currently a health professional, and can read English, then the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Group wants to hear from you.

Researchers at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York have found that the vast majority of patients who undergo hip replacement surgery are happy with the results.

People with arthritis, their families, friends and the general public are invited to the Roundtable On Arthritis Research (ROAR) - a day of discussion about the research being conducted by the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada on topics such as:

• Hip and knee replacement surgery – How to get the best results.
• The Internet – What role can it play in early diagnosis and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
• Obesity and Osteoarthritis – How does it weigh on your quality of life?
• Does a team approach to Osteoarthritis by pharmacists, physiotherapists, and family doctors improve care?

ROAR is presented in an interactive format.

Current research is provided by Arthritis Research Centre of Canada scientists and discussed by Patients, the experts who live with the disease.
