If you are looking to improve your general health and wellbeing, or seeking advice and support about managing a musculoskeletal (MSK) condition, you are invited to come along to our MSK Community Hub at Freedom Leisure, Cinderford, on Monday 10 November (9.30am-3.30pm).
As well as members of our Falls Assessment and Education and Carers services, you will have the opportunity to meet and chat with various community partner organisations, including Severn Wye Energy Agency, Gloucestershire County Council‘s Employment and Skills Hub, Gloucestershire Carers Hub and Healthy Lifestyles Gloucestershire.
A joint initiative between Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust’s MSK physiotherapy and podiatry services, Community Appointment Days provide an opportunity for people to come along, meet clinicians, and discuss their MSK-related needs and concerns.
On arrival, visitors will be invited to join a What Matters to You conversation with a registered clinician. These discussions are designed to help our physiotherapists and podiatrists understand a person’s musculoskeletal health.
These initial conversations provide a clear focus of what next steps should be. These include advice and guidance on how the person can manage their condition, and/or the opportunity for them to take part in a taster group exercise session or one-to-one physiotherapy or podiatry consultation.
The main focus of the Community Appointment Days is to offer guidance and advice to people with MSK-related health issues and provide timely access to services where appropriate.
