1. PURPOSE
1.1 The Scottish Government Health Directorate has undertaken a major redesign of
patient musculoskeletal (MSK) pathways aiming to improve timely access to the most appropriate information and clinical specialist, and support greater cost effectiveness across the system. The development of a centralised referral management system is integral to this work.
The overarching purpose of the MSK re-design is to ensure that patients self-referring into the MSK pathway are triaged into the most appropriate services. These may include self-management, vocational rehabilitation services, leisure services, chronic pain services, general musculoskeletal services, other primary care services and secondary care services. People who are of working age should also be supported to return to work or referred into employability services, as appropriate, early in their rehabilitation journey. Older patients should be signposted into appropriate older peoples pathways (falls pathway) and leisure services.
1.2 The purpose of the referral is to complete organised steps to ensure that patients receive the correct treatment, at the right time, from the right source and no-one is exposed to unnecessary risk from delayed or inappropriate treatment. Furthermore, correct referral prevents overburdening of services which are operating at or close to capacity with inappropriate demand. It is essential to minimise the risks in order to prevent foreseeable occurrences that may result in a reduced quality of life or delay or inability to return to work.
1.3 This SOP describes how to process an AHP MSK Referral, in this instance for
Physiotherapy and how to manage any associated risk.
2. SCOPE
2.1 All NHS Lanarkshire patients suffering with MSK problems who do not demonstrate
RED FLAGS– N.B. RED FLAGS should be screened out by NHS 24 (NATS)
2.2 Referral via NHS 24(NATS) is for age 16+
2.3 Electronic GP referrals are for adults and children with MSK conditions
2.4 Patients must be able to attend an MSK Out Patient Physiotherapy (or other AHP) department
2.5 A separate pathway exist for children (with neurological/congenital issues)
2.6 SOP NHSL-MSK-O1 focuses on the Admin tasks performed in the MSK Hub
