NHSE Horizons 'designing the future of MSK'

A 2 day round-table event took place in London on 20th and 21st February to rethink how MSK services are delivered, as it is currently sub-optimal in the context of non-communicable diseases, long term conditions, personalised care and health inequalities. The way we deliver care. It was a very productive event and a springboard for furure collaboration with the MSK community. 

Please find the slides below:

Some great reflections following the 2 days of the  NHS Horizons 'designing the future of MSK ' written by AECC can be seen  below by scanning the QR codes. It brings the conversations of the 2 days to life, showing how MSK care needs to be delivered very differently from the paradigm of non-communicable diseases, long term conditions and health inequalities.
