Here are some ideas we can do and also encourage others to take part www.paintoolkit.org/news/article...

Congratulations Blair and team!

Staggering fact: Only 5% of clinical trials on global health are conducted in LMICs - even though they’re home to around 85% of the world’s population.

Fantastic presentation by @saurabsharma.bsky.social at #AusPainSoc!

Katie Knapton & Dave Oxley thought you would like to see recent feedback sent to me from patients who have recently attended the Pain Toolkit Academy course.

What do you both think?

@physiokatie.bsky.social & @rustystickman.bsky.social

Nice, easy to understand explanation!

Isn't it the other way around? I thought we were going off daylight saving tonight!

Say Hi for me!
