app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk… Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain survey We are undertaking a programme of research which seeks to improve the recruitment and retention of participants to clinical trials investigating pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP). We are currently looking for clinicians and researchers who have either clinical experience treating pregnant or postpartum women with PPGP, or research experience involving pregnancy populations (does not have to relate to PPGP specifically) to take part in our short online survey. This survey seeks to understand what would help clinicians and researchers support and deliver clinical trials investigating PPGP. The survey is an anonymous, and should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. For every completed survey, £5* will be donated to The Pelvic Partnership, a UK-based PPGP charity which has supported this research. *You will not receive a personal payment. Maximum total donation £300. Click the link below to take part: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk… You must be aged 18+ and a UK resident to take part in this survey. If you have any questions, please contact: Jasmine Darley – [email protected]

❤️ There is no single "best" type of physical activity. It all counts – and it improves our health! The most effective activity is often the one people enjoy and can sustain over time. bit.ly/4oCubNH #BeActive #PhysicalActivity

Wild salmon are disappearing from Canada’s rivers due to habitat loss, climate change, overfishing and disease.  But this does not have to be the case. A #GenerationRestoration effort has restored more than 65,000 hectares of land and waterways to protect salmon and their habitats. At six of the seven sites, salmon numbers are already rising.

Many of the most beneficial forms of #PhysicalActivity are free and can be built into everyday life. Walking, cycling, taking the stairs or spending time in parks can all contribute to better health. Moving more should be the easy choice! bit.ly/4oCubNH #BeActive
