BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a major cause of pain and disability. We previously developed a prognostic tool (STarT Back Tool) with demonstrated effectiveness in guiding primary care low back pain management by supporting decision-making...

The evidence-based development of an intervention to improve clinical health literacy practice. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 17(5), Article 1513. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph17051513

Abstract: Low health literacy is an issue with high prevalence in the UK and internationally. It has a social gradient with higher prevalence in lower social groups and is linked with higher rates of long-term health conditions, lower self-rated heal...

BMC Family Practice, 21, Article 30. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12875-019-1074-9

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain from the five most common presentations to primary care (back, neck, shoulder, knee or multi-site pain), where the majority of patients are managed, is a costly global health challenge. At present, first-line de...
