The aim of this simple service evaluation project is to assess our current management of CMCJ osteoarthritis.  The project should only take a very small amount of time for clinicians to take part and all collaborators will be recognised as co-authors on any future presentations/publications of this work.  

You can take part if you are:           

- Clinician who see CMCJ OA patients at interface/hub level as direct referrals from primary care

- Your centre is happy for you to take part, note service evaluation projects require no ethical approval as clearly stated on NRES website

The project consists of:

Service evaluation of 5 patients with diagnosis of CMCJ OA to assess what treatment they have undergone prior to hub/interface review

Short telephone interview to explore your current approach to managing CMCJ OA

If your unit has a CMCJ OA pathway then it would be great if you could send me a copy

If you want to take part or have any questions then please email bendean1979@gmail.com – it would be very useful if you could state your name, job title, the centre at which you work, and the CCG under which this centre is contained.
