GIRFT webinar: Improving cMSK rehabilitation provision following lower limb joint replacement

Improving cMSK rehabilitation provision following lower limb joint replacement – lessons from the GIRFT national review

Hosted by Andrew Bennett, GIRFT national clinical lead for community MSK, this webinar will discuss the findings of the recent national survey on post-operative rehabilitation provision following hip and knee joint replacement in a surgical hub.

The survey was developed collaboratively between GIRFT, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) and Edge Health, and distributed to orthopaedic surgical hubs across England. 

The findings highlight variation in referral processes, access to rehabilitation and the co-ordination of care between services. The authors also include a list of recommended enablers of good practice and actions which can be adopted by those commissioning and delivering post-operative rehabilitation services, to ensure patients receive timely and equitable access to rehabilitation, have an optimal recovery and improved patient experience.  This webinar will present best practice case studies from:

• The South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre on the surgical aspect of the post-operative knee and hip rehabilitation pathway.
• South Tees Hospital NHS FT, who have trialled a return-to work occupational programme, OPAL (Occupational support for Patients undergoing Arthroplasty of the Lower limb).
• Northumbria Healthcare NHS FT on digital therapeutics in the lower limb arthroplasty pathway.

The joining link will be sent by separate email nearer the event date.
