Journal Article
Bateman, M., Saunders, B., Littlewood, C., & Hill, J. (2021). Development of an optimised physiotherapist-led treatment protocol for lateral elbow tendinopathy: a consensus study using an online nominal group technique. BMJ Open, 11(12), Article e053841. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2021-053841

OBJECTIVES: There are a wide range of physiotherapy treatment options for people with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET); however, previous studies have reported inconsistent approaches to treatment and a lack of evidence demonstrating clinical effecti...

STarT MSK tool: Translation, adaptation and validation in Hebrew (2021)
Journal Article
Ben Ami, N., Hill, J., & Pincus, T. (2021). STarT MSK tool: Translation, adaptation and validation in Hebrew. Musculoskeletal Care, 20(3), 541-546. https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1607

Abstract Background The Keele STarT MSK Tool divides musculoskeletal patients into three prognostic groups for risk‐stratified care. It has shown good predictive and discriminative ability in development and validation samples. Objectives This study...

Developing a core outcome set for community and primary care musculoskeletal services: A consensus approach. (2021)
Journal Article
Lewis, M., & Hill, J. (2021). Developing a core outcome set for community and primary care musculoskeletal services: A consensus approach. Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 1- 10. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msksp.2021.102415

BACKGROUND: At present there is no core outcome set (COS) for use in community and primary care Musculoskeletal (MSK) services across the UK. Services are therefore collecting different MSK outcomes and metrics in different ways and at different time...

Musculoskeletal case-mix adjustment in a UK primary/community care cohort: Testing musculoskeletal models to make recommendations in this setting. (2021)
Journal Article
Burgess, R., Lewis, M., & Hill, J. (2021). Musculoskeletal case-mix adjustment in a UK primary/community care cohort: Testing musculoskeletal models to make recommendations in this setting. Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 56, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msksp.2021.102455

Benchmarking musculoskeletal (MSK) services is limited by the need to adjust for differences in patient characteristics/case-mix. Without this providers and services cannot be usefully compared. This paper investigates the predictive ability of case-...

Evaluation of the First Contact Physiotherapy (FCP) model of primary care: Patient characteristics and outcomes (2021)
Journal Article
Stynes, S., Jordan, K., Hill, J., Wynne-Jones, G., Cottrell, E., Foster, N., Goodwin, R., & Bishop, A. (2021). Evaluation of the First Contact Physiotherapy (FCP) model of primary care: Patient characteristics and outcomes. Physiotherapy (de Gruyter), 113, 199-208. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2021.08.002

Objective First Contact Physiotherapy (FCP) is a primary care model where expert musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapists undertake the first patient consultation, to enhance MSK-patient care and free-up GP capacity. The authors report the quantitative... Read More about Evaluation of the First Contact Physiotherapy (FCP) model of primary care: Patient characteristics and outcomes.

Integrating clinician support with intervention design as part of a programme testing stratified care for musculoskeletal pain in general practice (2021)
Journal Article
Protheroe, J., Saunders, B., Hill, J., Chudyk, A., Foster, N., Bartlam, B., Wathall, S., & Cooper, V. (2021). Integrating clinician support with intervention design as part of a programme testing stratified care for musculoskeletal pain in general practice. BMC Family Practice, 22, Article 161. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12875-021-01507-8

BACKGROUND: Stratified care involves subgrouping patients based on key characteristics, e.g. prognostic risk, and matching these subgroups to early treatment options. The STarT-MSK programme developed and tested a new stratified primary care interven...

Journal Article
Saunders, B., Foster, N. E., Hill, J. C., Sowden, G., Evans, N., Bishop, A., Stynes, S., Dziedzic, K., Campbell, L., Rankin, G., Salmon, P., & Wynne-Jones, G. (2022). First Contact Practitioners' (FCPs) and General Practitioners' Perceptions Towards FCPs Delivering Vocational Advice to Patients with Musculoskeletal Conditions: A Qualitative Investigation of the Implementation Potential of the I-SWAP Initiative. Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation, 32, 147–155. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10926-021-09992-5

Purpose Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a common cause of work absence. The recent SWAP (Study of Work And Pain) randomised controlled trial (RCT) found that a brief vocational advice service for primary care patients with MSK pain led to fewer days' w...
