Description

Over the next 3 years (with possible 2 years extension) our vision is to provide a safe, patient-centred, cost-effective and integrated service that meets the needs of the local population affected by MSK and pain conditions. We need to improve patient care and to manage growing care needs within the current service. This initiative aims to: — Improve GP Education and training around assessment and treatment of MSK and Chronic Pain Conditions. — Improve Patient Education and increase self-management tools around MSK and Chronic Pain Conditions. — Integrate MSK and Pain Services so patient care is better coordinated and managed throughout the patient journey. — Expand and integrate community options to support treatment of MSK and Chronic Pain conditions, including physical and psychological lifestyle intervention. Encourage and support practices to reduce variation and improve the quality of GP referrals to secondary care Develop stronger links between primary and secondary care.
