MSK health is key to a healthy, productive life at every age. When healthcare, social care, and community services collaborate, people living with MSK conditions benefit. This Bone and Joint Week let’s prioritise person-centred, joined-up services. #JoinedUpForJoints

Health inequalities in MSK services are stark. People in deprived areas develop MSK conditions earlier and face worse outcomes. This Bone and Joint Week, we must push for truly equitable access to services and better support for those most affected.

I am very proud and humbled to have received the Chief AHP Officer's Gold Award for Excellence on #AHPsDay. Thank you so much Suzanne Rastrick and all my talented #AHPs colleagues. Inst of Osteopathy

People with MSK conditions often struggle with pain, mobility and daily tasks. Access to social care is crucial for independence, but the system is complex and hard to navigate. Time to ensure people with MSK conditions have social care support they need. #JoinedUpForJoints

Today is #WorldSpineDay. In England, 34% of adults live with chronic pain—over half from osteoarthritis and back pain. We must reduce long waits for specialist treatment and ensure MSK patients have access to multi-disciplinary, joined-up care to tackle chronic pain effectively.

It’s Bone and Joint Week and we’re calling for integrated care that supports both body and mind for people with MSK conditions. #JoinedUpForJoints
