Current and Recent MSK and Related Commissioning Activities: NHS Luton Clinical Commissioning Group The MSK Service should manage all MSK referrals and if referral criteria are not met, support the upskilling of GP practices accordingly. Clinically appropriate referrals will be triaged to physiotherapy, other procedures (such as joint injection), extended-scope physiotherapy assessment, orthopaedic surgeon assessment, pain clinic or other relevant services as appropriate, all in the community setting. The MSK Service should also integrate with local primary care clinicians who provide services such as joint injections, in the interest of enhancing the choice, convenience and flexibility available to patients. Patients deemed to potentially require surgical management should be seen in the community setting by an orthopaedic surgeon, directed as appropriate to relevant services to optimise post-operative outcomes, and then directly listed for surgery (in accordance with local policies and guidelines), with follow-up in the community. The integrated MSK Service should allow movement of patients seamlessly from one element to another, streamlining the experience for patients and reducing unnecessary waiting and inefficiency. The MSK Service should not be limited to treating patients, but also must be committed to empowering the population to self-care for their MSK issues and share responsibility of the management of their conditions, with a focus on education and lifestyle modification, as well as making effective use of local services such as Live Well Luton.
