Improving Work Outcomes in Patients with Musculoskeletal Pain - Effectiveness and Costs of a Vocational Advice Service
1 Hour
The pain and disability caused by musculoskeletal conditions result in substantial loss of quality of life, accounting for 21% of the total years lived with disability worldwide. This has considerable impact on healthcare systems, in the UK 1 in 5 people consult their primary care providers each year for a musculoskeletal condition, in Canada and Sweden musculoskeletal conditions account for 20-22% of all healthcare utilisation. The costs of back pain alone range from $259 - 71,614 million, including all musculoskeletal conditions would significantly increase these costs. The most affected groups are those of working age, people with musculoskeletal conditions are less likely to be in work than people without health conditions, and more likely to retire early. Therefore we need to provide appropriate support to those working with musculoskeletal conditions.
