OXFORDSHIRE Clincial Commissioning Group (OCCG) will be holding a workshop for members of the public as it looks to improve physiotherapy and musculoskeletal services in the county.

OCCG is looking for people with experience of private provider HealthShare over the last year to take part in the musculoskeletal (MSK) workshop, particularly those who have:

had their MRI/Ultrasound organised by HealthShare

those who have been referred on for surgery

children/parents of children who have been treated by HealthShare

those who have had physiotherapy treatment by HealthShare,

those who have had podiatry/footcare or orthotic supports from HealthShare

The CCG is looking for approx 10 – 15 individuals to take part.

The workshop will aim to refine the communication materials used by the service to help patients understand their care and treatment.

HealthShare services include physiotherapy assessment, triage, podiatry, orthotics, physiotherapy treatment, injections of joints, and guiding shared decision-making with patients about onward referral for surgery or consultant opinion.

The workshop will take place on Friday, September 28.

Anyone interested in taking part should contact OCCG senior communications manager Julia Stackouse on cscsu.talkinghealth@nhs.net to provide a brief outline of your interest and when your appointment/treatment was.

If you have any queries please telephone Julia on on 01865 334638.
