Musculoskeletal conditions are increasingly common in General Practice, and now make up a 1/3 of all patient attendances. The ageing population, the more informed public and the growing strains on people's musculoskeletal system make this a very HOT topic for most practitioners.
During a typical GPs (or NPs) training, speciality based MSK is rare, and most of us have little ongoing support and education for dealing with even most of the common complaints. The evidence changes quickly and the thresholds to refer vary.

Lots of patients are labelled with sprains and OA and given a range of painkillers and physiotherapy. A lot of patients with chronic pain remain unidentified.

Could we do it better?

We want to help improve your approach to these patients, therefore we encourage you to attend the New Musculoskeletal Course by our partners 'Medical Skills Courses' and their very talented faculty of tutors

They won't give you 1000 PowerPoint slides and 50 eponymous tests for the shoulder.

They won't confuse you with rare and wonderful MSK pathology.

In a tried and tested format of short snappy vignettes, case studies and live demonstrations, they will cover, literally from head to toe, all of the MSK complaints you are likely to encounter, including:

Chronic Pain
Specific Joint Pain (e.g. Shoulder, Hip, etc.)
Children
Arthritis
Red flags
Back pain
Inflammatory Conditions
Tricky Cases
With all courses, you will receive a fully referenced handbook with diagrams, photographs and assessment techniques, that you can re-download with each update. You will have access to a range of high-quality videos, consent forms and any other relevant national guidelines via a web link.

Who Should Attend The MSK Course?
This MSK Course is ideal for any healthcare professional looking to expand their knowledge around the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain, particularly as these now use up to a third of appointments in primary care, and contribute a significant number of attendances to secondary and community care.
Led by an experienced panel of General Practitioners, Hospital Specialists and Extended Scope Physiotherapists, this course is suitable for all that consult on Musculoskeletal conditions.
In a tried and tested format of short snappy vignettes, case studies and live demonstrations, we will cover, literally from head to toe, all of the common MSK complaints and conditions that you are likely to see, alongside many of the rarer conditions you don’t want to miss.
Our MSK Education team is led by Mr Mike Whitehouse, a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Senior Lecturer in Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Bristol. For over a decade Mike has been internationally respected as an MSK educationalist for Students, GPs and Specialists. He is well-published and is a firm believer in reducing unnecessary interventions (both diagnostic and surgical.)
This MSK Course aims to inform and inspire, and will give you the tools to provide safe, effective and evidence-based care for your patients.
