Abstract

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) management is not seen as high priority for primary care and health professionals find management of OA challenging. The NICE (2008, 2014) and EULAR recommendations (2013) for OA stress the benefits of core non-pharmacological treatments. The MOSAICS study is one of the first to develop an integrated approach for implementing these recommendations within primary care. Evidence suggests that practice nurses often provide self-management support for patients with chronic disease and therefore may be best placed to offer this approach.

Objectives To describe the uptake of core recommendations for OA by specially trained practice nurses within an OA clinic
