Musculoskeletal Health: Current
Awareness Update September 2020
Welcome to the monthly Musculoskeletal Health Current Awareness Update (MSKH-CAU), produced by PHE Knowledge and Library Services and the Musculoskeletal Health team. The purpose of this update is to provide the latest research to inform future policy and practice to support the prevention of Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions.
Public Health England, jointly with NHS England, Versus Arthritis and partners, published the Musculoskeletal Health: 5 Year Prevention Strategic Framework, setting out a clear statement of commitments to promote good MSK health to prevent MSK conditions across the life course. The MSKH-CAU resource will provide evidence and knowledge to support the decisions made by health and social care professionals, the wider public health workforce and employers.
