🟣Our multidisciplinary research focuses on the assessment & management of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly in rheumatology, orthopaedics & sports rehabilitation.
Highlights from the REACH Annual Showcase 2025!

This years showcase included ideas from leading experts in the area and early career researchers to share their work and ideas for innovation in emergency care research.

It was great to see CHCR colleagues at the event!
We had an excellent time at the REACH Annual Showcase 2025 on Monday! 😀
We explored the theme 'Capacity Building in Emergency Care Research'

What if the biggest barrier to early #arthritis treatment is not access to care but knowing when to ask for help?

🇩🇰 New Danish study shows how #education relates to how quickly people seek medical help.

We need health education and advocacy built into every health system. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ar...
