Analysis & Evaluation 

  • Discussed 3 of the 5 steps to EWB as described by the NHS
  • Most know what improves EWB; however, everyone reported how difficult it can be to put themselves first when life is busy. We discussed how making an effort it better than not trying at all. For many, they stated that this programme has been a source for improved EWB. This gave me the opportunity to highlight that they have been able to commit 2 hours a week to the programme so that is 2 hours a week they know they can spend of exercise and improving their EWB when the programme ends.

Conclusion 

  • It is important to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to continue their joint pain management independently. I am going to continually encourage forward planning so participants know that they can achieve results independently.
