The SOMM team has developed a clear, accessible, and evidence‑informed aftercare advice leaflet to support patient safety, optimal outcomes, and integrated rehabilitation following steroid injection treatment.
This new high‑quality Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) provides simple, practical guidance for both clinicians and patients after a musculoskeletal steroid injection in any clinical setting.
Key Features

Written to an approximate reading age of 11, ensuring accessibility for patients with a wide range of literacy levels. The leaflet helps patients understand their post‑injection care and encourages confidence, adherence, and engagement in their rehabilitation plan.
- Evidence‑ and expert‑informed
Co‑developed using clinical expertise, patient feedback, and current best evidence to ensure accuracy, safety, and relevance.
- Supports best practice & empowers patients
Providing high‑quality, consistent aftercare advice is essential for safe care and effective rehabilitation following a steroid injection. This leaflet promotes shared understanding and enhances patient experience.
