Real Life Tested (RLT) is an initiative in conjunction with
leading charity Arthritis Care to support healthcare professionals and patients
when discussing joint replacement surgery. RLT contains educational materials
and real life testimonials from patients who have undergone joint replacement
surgery, including Peter Brown, former captain of the Scottish international
rugby team.
A nationwide survey supports the need for more credible tools
and resources as it finds that whilst 78% of GPs discuss joint
replacement surgery with their osteoarthritis patients, 60% believe they
would benefit from receiving additional guidance on how to identify the
appropriate patient for specialist consultation.[i]
