Over 230,000 children in the UK live with long-term MSK conditions. We can’t afford to ignore their bone & joint health.
Young people deserve timely access to MSK services close to home.
Local, accessible services prevent problems from escalating.

Sick of hearing "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause offence." The problem with racist, misogynist, ageist, etc. comments is not that someone might be offended. It's that they perpetuate racism, misogyny, ageism - views and values that cause harm, not necessarily to the people who hear them.

Counterpoint: no they won't.
Not least because if poor people still have to live in the most polluted areas of the country with the worst access to decent food, incomes, housing, mental health support etc, "personalised" medicine is a lie. It's just for the wealthy and privileged.

Really enjoyed today facilitating a trustee board away day for @arthritisaction.org.uk . Lots of great discussion. Left with the impression of a strong engaged board and an air of excitement about where the organisation is going.

Delighted to have been elected a governor of Newcastle Hospitals Trust. Getting to grips with what that entails at induction session today and looking forward to first meeting next week.

Many Integrated Care Boards are not giving MSK the attention it requires to comply with their statutory duties. A strategic, cross-system approach is required.
