#Mobility is Medicine, GMUSC’s theme for Bone and Joint Awareness Week 2018
https://gmusc.com/events-diary/bone-and-joint-awareness-week/
Our theme this year aligns with data recently released by the The World Health Organisation on the 5th September this year in The Lancet Global Health which show that more than one in four adults globally (28% or 1.4 billion people) are physically inactive and in some countries this figure can be as high as one in three adults. They also show the need for all countries to increase the priority given to national and sub-national actions to provide the environments that support physical activity and increase the opportunities for people of all ages and abilities, to be active every day. Their motto is “Let’s Be Active, Everywhere Everyone Everyday” and for this year’s Bone & Joint Awareness Week GMUSC is saying that SMALL STEPS can lead to BIG CHANGES.
Let us all make small changes this October : reduce our time sitting down, take more physical breaks at work, walk part of the way to work, and effect those big changes that are needed worldwide!
