Delivering Quality and Value across Musculoskeletal Pathways

Musculoskeletal conditions have an adverse influence on the health and wellbeing of a large proportion of the population and place a significant burden on the NHS. There is however no single diagnostic test that can confirm a particular condition and herein lies the problem. This is not a new problem but in a time when budgets are being slashed and efficiencies need to be made, how can you justify not dealing with this problem head on?

• What audits are done locally for outcomes of treatment?
• How do you ensure those who need both information and care receive them? 
• What is being done to ensure joint working across health and social care?
• How are decisions being to ensure your PCT is commission the services that are needed for patients?
• What is being done to help GPs understand the symptoms of MSK conditions?
• How are people being supported to stay in or returning to work?
