GPs' perspectives regarding their sedentary behaviour and physical activity: a qualitative interview study. (2022)
Journal Article
Mayne, R. S., Hart, N. D., Tully, M. A., Wilson, J. J., & Heron, N. (2022). GPs' perspectives regarding their sedentary behaviour and physical activity: a qualitative interview study. British Journal of General Practice Open (BJGP Open), 6(3), https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGPO.2022.0008

Background: General practice is a highly sedentary occupation, with many GPs spending more than 10.5 hours sitting each workday. This excessive sedentary behaviour and lack of physical activity (PA) is potentially detrimental to the health of GPs, as...

Presentation / Conference
Mason, K., Bailey, J., Heron, N., Marshall, M., Achana, F., Chen, Y., …Jordan, K. (2022, July). Musculoskeletal pain and its impact on rates of hospitalisation and mortality in cancer: a linked electronic health record cohort study (MSKCOM). Paper presented at SAPC ASM 2022 - UCLan 50th Annual Scientific Meeting, University of Central Lancashire, UK

Background: Patients with painful musculoskeletal conditions have an increased risk of developing cancer, but less is known about whether this impacts on the longer-term cancer prognosis. This study aims to determine whether patients with painful mus...
