Versus Arthritis: Core Skills in Musculoskeletal Care

Versus Arthritis are excited to be bringing their award winning MSK Core Skills workshop back to Glasgow this October.

The ‘Core Skills in Musculoskeletal Care’ workshop by Versus Arthritis provides a supportive environment for primary healthcare professionals to develop confidence and skills in the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. 

In a recent external evaluation the net promoter score for the workshops was 93.5, regarded as world class and 99% of participants said the training met their learning needs. Feedback from participants also suggests they are now processing fewer referrals for imaging, physiotherapy and orthopaedic assessment and making changes to their prescribing practice.

‘This course exceeded my expectations, the content and delivery was very relevant to my role, so much so I have used the information for 3 patients already this morning.’

Core Skills Delegate – September 2023

The workshop is split into three main sections:

• Low back pain and sciatica.
• Lower limb (with a focus on the knee).
• Upper limb (with a focus on the shoulder).
