Arthritis Action has a great range of information and resources to help
manage the pain and associated symptoms with confidence. This includes
exercises, videos, fact sheets, podcasts and much more. All of this can be
found here: www.arthritisaction.org.uk. For those who do not have an
internet connection, we also have a telephone line – 0203 781 7120.
Alongside this, we are keen to raise awareness that arthritis impacts people
of all ages, not just the older population. To assist with this, we have
recently launched a younger adult hub for 18-40s. This covers a variety of
topics such as pregnancy, parenting, work and studying. It can be found here:

Southampton around the local picture of tobacco dependency and stop smoking support available. If you
have time we would really appreciate you filling in this short confidential survey and sending it on to
colleagues. Here is the link to the survey: https://forms.office.com/e/3bAnZ87ANY
