College of Medicine & Veterinary Medicine

Edinburgh International Science Festival

The University of Edinburgh is presenting science in an interactive way, suitable for children and adults of all age groups.

The College of Medicine and Veterinary medicine are hosting the following two events:

Overcoming Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis affects and disables millions of people across the globe, damaging joint surfaces, causing pain and restricting movement. University of Edinburgh’s Professor Stuart Ralston is joined by a clinician, researcher and patient to explore the personal and medical aspects of the disease. With a chance to handle some of the hardware (old and new) involved in joint replacement, you’ll be able to see, hear and feel the problem (and some of the solutions) for yourself and share your experiences of osteoarthritis.
