Journal Article
Healey, E. L., Main, C. J., Ryan, S., McHugh, G. A., Porcheret, M., Finney, A. G., …Dziedzic, K. S. (2016). A nurse-led clinic for patients consulting with osteoarthritis in general practice: development and impact of training for its delivery in the MOSAICS study. BMC Family Practice, 17, Article 173

Background Despite a lack of service provision for people with osteoarthritis (OA), each year 1 in 5 of the general population consults a GP about a musculoskeletal condition such as OA. Consequently this may provide an opportunity for practice nurs...
