The Musculoskeletal Health and Rehab Team in Ealing have been working on various projects this year to improve the care they give.

Consultant Physiotherapist for Musculoskeletal health (MSK) and Rehab, Stephanie Griffiths, is leading a research, audit and quality improvement day. The day supports staff to return to research alongside clinical practice.  The focus over the next is to identify training needs and any barriers staff have access training.

‘ESCAPE Pain’ project: The MSK Physiotherapy team launched a new project to improve the support they offer to patients with osteoarthritis in the hip and knee.  Staff have seen exceptional results in the first group of patients they have supported and now moving towards trialling this project with virtual and face to face sessions to offer more choice to patients.

The team are working to improve productivity and patient attendance in MSK. To do this the team has been working with partners in GP’s and other health teams to improve communication and the referral process so appointments are attended and not missed.
