Event overview
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions account for up to 30% of general practitioner consultations, representing a substantial clinical workload and a significant societal burden. MSK problems often persist longer than many other conditions, leading to reduced quality of life and wider socioeconomic impact. GPs are pivotal in early recognition, accurate diagnosis, effective management, and preventive care for MSK presentations, helping to minimise disability and support long-term health and wellbeing.
This One Day Essentials conference equips primary care professionals with practical, evidence-based skills to confidently assess and manage MSK conditions in a time-pressured GP setting. Delegates will gain up-to-date knowledge on management of musculoskeletal conditions across the ages, prevention strategies, and the role of physical activity as both a therapeutic and preventive intervention.
All live One Day Essentials conferences (ODEs) are free and available exclusively to RCGP members. Check your diary, register to attend, or if you can’t make it access the content on REWIND. You can catch up on all the recordings and presentation slides for up to nine months afterwards, and you can register at any point during this time.
Note: we endeavour to upload content as quickly as possible after the conference; this typically takes up to two weeks.
