Osteoarthritis is one of the most common chronic conditions in older people, and its impact on mobility, comfort and independence can be profound. For those working with older people, having a sound understanding of this condition is vital. Care staff play a crucial role in recognising the signs, responding to the challenges and providing the right support.

Managing Osteoarthritis, the latest release from Altura Learning, explores a range of evidence-based management strategies that can make a real difference to the everyday lives of older people. From supporting mobility and comfort to promoting independence and dignity, these strategies can be put into practice immediately to improve care outcomes and enhance wellbeing.

This comprehensive video-based course offers a clear and accessible explanation of what osteoarthritis is, why it develops and how it affects the body. Learners will gain insight into the key risk factors, common signs and symptoms, and the often-overlooked psychological impacts such as frustration, anxiety and social withdrawal.
