Physiotherapy - Musculoskeletal Service
The Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Service's aim is to provide high quality patient-centred care within Community Health Newham. Assessments and treatments are evidence based with the patient kept at the centre of decision making. Appropriate consideration is given to cost effective management in order to ensure equality of service provision irrespective of socioeconomic, ethnic or cultural considerations.
Patients are provided with timely assessment and treatment in order to aid them to fulfil their realistic health goals. We also work closely with all referring agencies in order to fulfil the best outcome for all patients passing through the MSK Pathway. We undertake and audit patient satisfaction and clinical outcome measures in order determine our success and identify further challenges and always strive to improve.
The current clinical team structure is composed of an MSK Team Lead / Advanced Physiotherapist Band 8b and three Advanced Physiotherapists Band 8a, two Physiotherapists, three Static Band 6 Physiotherapists, five Static band 5 physiotherapists and one Rotational Band 5 Physiotherapist.
Within this team structure all team members are static musculoskeletal (MSK) specialists with the exception of 1 Rotational Band 5 physiotherapist who is part of the wider Trust rotation scheme across Community Health Newham.
The clinical team have appropriate state registration and enhanced DBS certificates. All staff members are required to maintain professional standards through continuous professional development.
The MSK service operates the Single Point of Access (Booking Service) managed by team of administrative and clerical staff.
