The Bone and Joint Decade (BJD) international initiative and

GlaxoKline (GSK) announced the launch of the LIBERATE™ joint pain

management programme during the BJD's World Conference in Lund,

Sweden. The BJD, which is endorsed by the United Nation's World Health

Organisation, and GSK have partnered to develop the global programme

that provides information on practical and clinically proven

techniques that people can use to self-manage their joint pain.

" Our vision is that the programme will motivate and enable people

worldwide with joint pain to take an active role in their own care

through the provision of education and information, " said Professor

Woolf, member of the BJD International Steering Committee, and

rheumatologist from the Royal Cornwall Hospital in the UK.
