Welcome to the REFER Osteoarthritis Toolkit!

This toolkit is a resource for clinicians to be able to provide free, evidence-based information and tools to support patients with knee osteoarthritis make informed decisions about their care and improve their self-management.

Many of the resources found in this toolkit were originally developed for the “My Knee” Toolkit, a patient facing toolkit, led by Dr Anthony Goff and co-developed by people with knee osteoarthritis. You may wish to explore the headings along top menu bar for in-depth information about various osteoarthritis topics and interactive tools such as quizzes and a personalized guide maker.

Below are a selection of printable patient handouts. Click on an individual icon to see the full infographic which can be downloaded and printed as a PDF document.

 

 

 

 


 

These resources are updated regularly and have been developed to inform practice and should be considered as guidance only.

For further information about the development of these resources please explore the “My Knee” Toolkit, where you will find short videos explaining the co-development process and more suggestions on how to use this toolkit in clinical practice.
