Primary Care Services
Orthopaedic 'Waiting Well' Services
We have been fortunate to work with many organisations, both public and private, supporting the management of waiting lists. Success has been seen in the assessment of imaging waiting lists, orthopaedic waiting lists, early discharge, and community management projects.
We continue to work on waiting list management with many of our musculoskeletal pathway partners by bolstering support and offering patients a variety of ways to access musculoskeletal management and ongoing support.
The Challenges
- Increasing waiting times for orthopaedic lists
- Progressive issues with weight, mobility, joint range, and independence – all impacting suitability for surgery
- Increasing attendance in primary care for pain control
- Increasing need for medical and social care
Research Led Physiotherapy
