8 6 Increasing Demand Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Demand

9 Models of commissioning services Any Qualified Provider Commissioned Services

10 Physiotherapist development Entry level Skills and knowledge development are body part driven even when students develop knowledge and competence in the assessment and management of psychosocial obstacles to recovery [from MSK disorders] from their training institutions, failure to consolidate this knowledge and these competencies within the clinical environment essentially halts their development Post qualification level Skills and knowledge development are body part driven Foster et al. 2011

11 Models of commissioning with an emphasis on targets Increasing unmet demand on physiotherapy services Patient choice & competition between providers [Patients] only get the body part they have been referred for looked at - i.e. just the hand, not the whole arm. Then when no improvement is made, they are referred to fix the next part - i.e. shoulder. A more holistic approach is suggested. Reference: Patient with LTC Limited availability of pain management programmes Historical socio-political roots of physiotherapy Physiotherapist training

12 The incorporation of a bio-psychosocial approach in musculoskeletal physiotherapy Physiotherapists do demonstrate awareness of the importance of psychosocial factors when asked But.. Could not identify which factors were important in affecting outcome (Overmeer et al. 2004)

13 Nielson, M. et al Physical Therapy Hunt et al, 2013 Knee Lamb, S. et al Lancet Sullivan et al Physical Therapy

14 Screening for risk of poor outcome in people with musculoskeletal disorders Depression (PhQ9 ) Anxiety (GAD 7) Fear avoidance (FABQ) Pain catastrophizing (PCS) Self efficacy (PSEQ)

15 What is the primary reason that you are seeking treatment from this service? Back pain PHQ-2 GAD-2 STarT Back Musculoskeletal PROM EQ-5d VAS High risk Medium risk Low risk PHQ-9 GAD-7 FABQ PCS PSEQ Supported self management Other PHQ-2 GAD-2 PHQ-9 GAD-7 FABQ PCS PSEQ

16 The Keele MSK-PROM for Monitoring Musculoskeletal Health This questionnaire is about the health problem for which you are seeking treatment from this service. Place a tick in one box for each question below to indicate which statement best describes your view today (from never to all the time ). Each column records a different treatment visit. Assessing the effect MSK monitoring PROM (Hill et al. 2014) EQ-5D VAS Q1. Needing help Visit 1 Visit 2 Visit 3 Visit 4 Visit 5 Visit 6 How often do you need help from others because of your symptoms? Never 1 Rarely 2 Sometimes 3 Frequently 4 All the time 5 Q2. Work/daily routine Visit 1 Visit 2 Visit 3 Visit 4 Visit 5 Visit 6 How often have your symptoms interfered with your normal work/daily routine (including social activities, household chores, & hobbies)?

17 Treatment pathways STarT Back Anxiety Low risk - supported self management Medium risk - usual physiotherapy care High risk - psychologically informed physiotherapy Significant Group physical exercise/ IAPT selfreferral Depression Some depressive symptoms - Group physical exercise/ IAPT self-referral Probable major depression same day letter to GP Suicidal ideation - risk assessment A&E / liaison psychologist support / same day letter to GP

18 Investing in Staff Exposure to a 2 day motivational interviewing programme and follow up with coaching and feedback focussed on developing patient-centred consultations and facilitating change behaviour in people presenting with musculoskeletal pain Exposure to a one day programme with colleagues from INPUT challenging the more traditional physiotherapeutic care offered to people with musculoskeletal conditions Planned educational sessions with a psychologist to help build capability within the service to deliver psychologically informed physiotherapy.

19 Psychologically informed physiotherapy Developing physiotherapist skills in: Problem-solving Facilitating patients to increase levels of physical activity Developing self-efficacy Working with patients who are fearful of movement Mindfulness as a strategy for patients Relaxation techniques and education

20 Evaluation Evaluate patient data for 3 months prior to additional support and education provided by psychology Evaluate patient data for 3 months post psychology education and supported intervention Collect and analyse patient and staff views and experiences of service redesign
