Love this! Improve efficiency and productivity but not at the expense of effectiveness. It’s not just about numbers of patients seen, it should be about outcomes.

All MSK pathway influencers would love to hear your comments on below? @julia_tabrah @Mercephysio @sue_greenhalgh @LaurafinucaneB @andypbennett79 @michangus
2/2 Would love to hear others thoughts on how they ensure all MSK practitioners either public or private are well versed on local MSK pathways especially emergency pathways and how open NHS are to Private therapists getting involved in improving pathways for patients?

Note: 25% of patients do not have primary diagnosis. The more red flags the greater the urgency

5/5 of micturition. Sent him straight to A&E, he’s now waiting on MRI. I have spent 4-5 hours outside the consultation to help this patient get seen. Is it usual that suspected cervical myelopathy cases are having to wait until they can barely walk to get mri?
