They considered it partly challenging as delivering effective counselling requires understanding the specific characteristics of RA and tailoring advice to the individual patient's needs. In general, they focused on motivating patients to be physically active by demonstrating the benefits of physical activity. However, they also reported a lack of awareness regarding the content discussed during each other's appointments, highlighting issues with information sharing between professionals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Physical activity counselling is multidimensional, constitutes part of professional competence and requires extensive knowledge of RA and physical activity recommendations.
