| Annotation | Irrespective of age, exercise should be a core treatment for people with osteoarthritis. This quick reference guide summarises the recommendations NICE has made to the NHS in 'Osteoarthritis: the care and management of osteoarthritis in adults' (NICE clinical guideline 59). It uses an algorithm to outline holistic assessment, core symptom-relieving therapies, management plan, patient self-management strategies, and whether to refer for surgery. Attention is drawn to patient-centred care that takes into account patients' individual needs and preferences. (RH). |
