Musculoskeletal conditions are one of the leading causes of absence among NHS employees, the Government said.
The UK government, in collaboration with Nuffield Health, has introduced a new rehabilitation service to assist NHS staff suffering from musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, in returning to work. The program, which will support 4,000 frontline workers, offers 12 weeks of free exercise and personalized training. Initially launched at 10 NHS trusts in London, Birmingham, and the North West, the service aims to expand nationally. Health Secretary Wes Streeting emphasized the initiative's potential to reduce staff absence, enhance quality of life, and alleviate pressure on waiting lists.
