Introduction[edit | edit source]
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are among the leading causes of years lost to disability[1], with an annual loss reported at approximately 30 million working days in the UK[2]. The demand for MSK healthcare continues to rise as the number of General Practitioners (GPs) across the UK decline[3]. One of the solutions for this growing need is the employment of First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs)[4] as 20-30% of all GP consultations are MSK in nature.[5]
