Co-designing a physical activity behavior change toolkit to promote effective rheumatoid arthritis self-management

In rheumatoid arthritis care, patients face long waits and frequent appointments. Using a patient-initiated follow-up model can help patients avoid unnecessary appointments and reduce wait times, but this only works if patients have enough support to manage their disease. Physical activity is essential for managing RA, but many people with RA do not have enough […]
