Hypermobility & Pain Online Meetings
Recruiting
Investigating the need for non-pharmacological pain management interventions for people with hypermobility disorders
We are looking for people with symptomatic hypermobility, and people who live and work closely with them, to take part in online meetings. In the meetings, we will talk about the best ways to manage joint pain.
Adults with symptomatic hypermobility (HSD and hEDS), friends and family members, and professionals who support people with symptomatic hypermobility are all welcome. There will be up to 8 people in each meeting, including the meeting chair (Anna Hurley-Wallace). Meetings will last for up to 2 hours. You will be paid £50 for your time.
Anna will take notes from the meetings and these will be summarised in illustrations by a professional artist. Personal details will be removed so that you remain anonymous. Illustrations will be used to help decide the type of programme that should be created to support people with hypermobility to manage joint pain. Illustrations will also be made public via the HMSA, social media, and academic forums.
To take part in a meeting, you must be over 18 years old and have access to Zoom online meeting platform. Dates/times are on the attached flyer. Please contact Anna if you are interested, or if you have questions (Email: A.L.Hurley-Wallace@bristol.ac.uk).
