The Camden Musculoskeletal (MSK) services are an integration of a full range of MSK services available throughout Camden, including:

  • community services (physio, CATS, podiatry and pain services)
  • secondary care (orthopaedics and rheumatology)

The clinical model for Camden MSK is as follows:

  • Single Point of Access (SPoA) to process all referrals
  • specialist clinicians to triage all referrals
  • multi-disciplinary team working
  • named Care Co-ordinator for all case management
  • clinically integrated MSK services

The Camden MSK website (see external links below) has online resources for pain management support, home exercise, and emotional wellbeing.
