An NHS physio team in Sussex invites hundreds of people on its waiting list to a leisure centre.
An NHS physio team slashed its waiting list by inviting people scheduled for treatment to two day-long events.
Laura Finucane, clinical director of Sussex MSK Partnership, said: "We focused on conversations rather than consultations, to find out what was most important to everyone. Those who could not attend the events saw their waiting time reduced by an average of five weeks, and 10% of those discharged needed further support, she said.Community musculoskeletal physiotherapy wait times had increased before the pandemic but were now at their highest ever because of a severe backlog and a physio workforce shortage, the NHS team said.
