Management of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis in Primary Health Care

"The general practitioners and the physiotherapists will attend an inter-active workshop and deliver osteoarthritis care in line with international recommendations for osteoarthritis treatment. The general practitioner will refer eligible patients to treatment by physiotherapists at Healthy Living Center or by physiotherapists in private practice. This treatment will include a standardized patient education program followed by structured exercise program with individual adjustments. The general practitioner will schedule a follow-up after the 12-week treatment and will receive a treatment report from the physiotherapist."
