Doors open at 1:30pm for a 2pm start, followed by afternoon tea at 3:15pm.

Join SAHMRI's Persistent Pain Research Group for a series of curiosity-inducing presentations exploring what we think we know about osteoarthritis (OA), and what the evidence actually tells us.

Meet the OA Champions - Dr Monique Wilson
Hear about how people living with OA can support each other to manage pain, stay active and live well.

Bust OA myths - Dr Felicity Braithwaite
How to challenge harmful misconceptions about osteoarthritis to promote better care.

Rethink exercise for OA - Dr Erin MacIntyre
Move beyond 'no pain, no gain' and discover how technology can make exercise more fun and help you find the right balance of activities for you.

Optimise education for surgery - Dr Caitlin Prentice and Mrs Carrie Taylor

Find out how consumer knowledge has led to better understanding of the joint replacement journey (from pain to prosthesis) and how a new resource will help people recover better.

From OA to the Camino - Mr Peter Ninnes
Hear from one of our lived-experience co-researchers, as he shares his personal journey of living with OA, undergoing treatment, and ultimately walking the Camino trail. His story offers a powerful real-world perspective on what can become possible when we rethink pain, movement and what our bodies are capable of.

Discover local resources - Mr Rajiv Chand

Hear from The Hospital Research Foundation Group about the opportunities available for people living with arthritis, including the introduction of Brain & Body Fitness centres.

Come along, ask questions, challenge your assumptions and rethink what’s possible with OA.
