18.01.2022 On Friday 5 October, Angela and Leanne from Orthopaedics ACT hosted a free Joint Replacement Information Session(JRIS) designed to empower patients and their carers by providing information about: what they can do individually to prepare prior to joint replacement surgery; what to expect when in hospital; and how to prepare for the return home post surgery. Critical information enabling the patient to actively be involved in managing their own recovery. A group of 37 people a...ttended, representing a mix of patients undergoing hip and knee replacements and their carers Helen Musset, a physiotherapist with extensive experience in orthopaedic care, also shared lots of great tips. This event was supported by Calvary John James Hospital. Our next JRIS event will be held in November. Call us on 6221 9320 for more information.
