Advancing Knowledge in Osteoarthritis: A CME Experience with Haleon
Vadodara | April 2025 – At Welcare Hospital, our commitment to clinical excellence is deeply rooted in continuous learning. In line with this philosophy, Dr. Aashay Mody, Orthopaedic Surgeon, along with Team Welcare, recently participated in a highly insightful Continuing Medical Education (CME) session organized by Haleon, dedicated to one of the most prevalent joint conditions today — Osteoarthritis (OA).

Understanding Osteoarthritis: A Growing Concern
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions globally. It causes pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and impacts the quality of life of individuals, especially those over the age of 50. As orthopaedic specialists, staying updated on the latest treatment approaches, diagnostic advancements, and patient care strategies is essential to deliver better outcomes for our patients.
A Platform for Collaborative Learning
The CME brought together like-minded medical professionals — orthopaedicians, general practitioners, physiotherapists, and rheumatologists — to exchange ideas, review the most recent clinical evidence, and explore integrative approaches to OA management.
Dr. Aashay Mody had the privilege of taking the podium during the session to share insights on the holistic management of osteoarthritis, including:
- Early identification of degenerative joint changes
- The role of lifestyle modifications in disease progression
- Current surgical and non-surgical interventions
- Optimizing patient education and post-treatment rehabilitation
Knowledge Sharing, Better Healing
Events like these are not only educational but also fuel collaboration between professionals from diverse clinical backgrounds. By discussing real-world challenges and emerging therapies, we collectively raise the standard of care for patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders.
This CME also served as a great reminder of why continuing medical education is critical — not just to advance individual expertise, but to strengthen the entire healthcare ecosystem. When doctors learn more, patients heal better.
Key Takeaways from the CME on Osteoarthritis:
- Personalized treatment plans based on patient needs and disease severity
- Emphasis on early diagnosis and preventive strategies
- The role of multidisciplinary care teams
- Emerging treatments in regenerative medicine and biologics
