Southern Health NHS Trust was one of the first NHS Trust to employ BASRaT & SST members into roles that were previously MSK Physiotherapist. This new approach of competency based employment criteria has opened up the door to employing MSK Clinicians that have the necessary skills and knowledge to work within MSK settings. This has allowed a multi-disciplinary approach to MSK from a variety of backgrounds.

• The role of MSK Clinicians within the NHS.
• Regulation & legislation to employ on a competency based criteria.
• Communication & job titles.
• The experience of an MSK Clinician working in the NHS.
• The benefits to a multidisciplinary team.
• How this could benefit further trusts and the need for rehabilitation for short-term and long-term conditions.
