Effective, scaleable community-based musculoskeletal option that can impact NHS waiting lists and a model that be applied to other long-term health conditions!
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions affect over 20 million people a year in the UK, accounting for 30 million lost workdays. Today, ukactive @Good_Boost @OR_UK @escape_pain @Arthritis_ACTN report important findings from our MSK Hubs pilot in leisure centres. https://t.co/26U5mi0oCW

ukactive calls on all parties to commit to developing and formalising the integration of the physical activity sector with the NHS, so that more people can access treatment pathways in community settings. Pilot schemes such as this one at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation
