International RSI Awareness Day

Friday 29 February 2008 The last day of February is International RSI Awareness Day (it's the only non-repetitive day of the year) The group also campaigns for more preventive action in the workplace and our group’s contributions in the past to International RSI Awareness Day include: · having a stand in our local city centre at which leaflets were handed out and passers-by could stop and chat about RSI and its causes; · having an RSI information stand in the local library during the week of International RSI Awareness Day; · group members sending out postcards to MP’s with their thoughts and feelings about RSI; · attending RSI conferences to raise awareness of RSI; · holding a VDU workshop with particular emphasis on the prevention of RSI; · a ‘sufferer’ self-publishing her auto-biography about living with RSI; · members attending an MP’s education day at Port Cullis House in London where one member spoke of their experience in living with an RSI; · delivering free VDU work station assessments for the voluntary sector. We send out posters marking the event to hundreds of organisations, voluntary groups, the press, etc. Every year our group members try to think of new ways in which to mark International RSI Awareness Day. >>From Hand to Mouth</A></DIV></A></DIV>
