UK wide campaign to raise the profile of musculoskeletal health
Bone and Joint Week is a national awareness campaign that brings the MSK community together to highlight the impact of MSK conditions and the importance of prevention, timely care and rehabilitation.
Led in the UK by ARMA, the campaign provides a platform for organisations, professionals and people with lived experience to speak with one voice about the importance of MSK health.
The week forms part of wider international activity to raise awareness of bone and joint health and reflects the growing global recognition of MSK health as a major public health and economic issue.
Why Bone and Joint Week matters
Bone and Joint Week is a national awareness campaign that brings the MSK community together to highlight the impact of MSK conditions and the importance of prevention, timely care and rehabilitation.
MSK conditions affect over 20 million people in the UK and are a leading cause of pain, disability and reduced quality of life. They are also a major driver of work loss, health inequalities and pressure on health and care services.
Bone and Joint Week helps to:
- Raise awareness of the scale and impact of MSK conditions
- Highlight the importance of prevention and early intervention
- Promote better understanding of living well with MSK conditions
- Support recognition of MSK health as a system priority
- Strengthen the collective voice of the MSK community
