Registration LIVE for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance Annual Lecture 2023

Community-Powered MSK

Adam Lent, Chief Executive, New Local

Laura Finucane, Consultant Physiotherapist and Clinical Director Sussex MSK Partnership

With a rising number of people living with long-term MSK conditions, increasing pressure on services and lengthy backlogs, many people feel that our current models are unsustainable.

This event will ask:

• Could a more community-centred approach address the need for prevention, supporting people to manage their own conditions and de-medicalise our approach to MSK health?
• If so, could this be the answer to tackling ever increasing demand?
• Could a new approach improve patient access, outcomes and experience?

Last year, New Local published a report A Community-Powered NHS, proposing a solution to the ever-rising demand in the NHS: a radical shift towards a healthcare system focused as much on preventing illness as treating it. A shift towards working collaboratively with communities as equal partners in the design and delivery of healthcare.

Adam Lent will outline the principles of this new paradigm as well as the potential benefits. Laura Finucane will respond from the perspective of local MSK services.

The event will be followed by a virtual networking opportunity. As the networking is virtual we can’t provide refreshments but please feel free to bring your own drink and continue the conversation.
