Being MSK Confident

Being MSK Confident

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as back pain, arthritis, and repetitive strain injuries are amongst the leading causes of pain, disability, and work absence in the UK. MSK disorders affect millions of people across all age groups. They can severely limit an individual’s mobility and ability to carry-out daily activities, leading to a reduced quality of life, and increased dependence on health and social care services.

For employers, the burden of MSK conditions is considerable. They are a major cause of sickness absence and reduced productivity in the workplace. According to data from the UK’s Office for National Statistics and the Health and Safety Executive, MSK disorders are consistently among the top reasons for long-term sickness absence, accounting for millions of lost working days annually. This not only affects business continuity and efficiency but also leads to increased costs associated with staff turnover, occupational health support, and compensation claims.

‘Being MSK Confident’ is a half-day seminar designed to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and practical strategies needed to better understand MSK conditions. Whether you're an employer or employee, someone living with an MSK condition, or simply looking to learn more and support others, this webinar will provide clear, evidence-based insights to help you navigate the challenges around MSK and improve everyday wellbeing.
