The Musculoskeletal (MSK) Health Toolkit for employers and further education institutions – how to support adolescents and young adults to a better future has been launched.
There are two main aims of the toolkit:
- To help employers and FE institutions understand the part they play in preventing MSK conditions;
- To set out how they can support young people with chronic MSK conditions to realise their potential, thrive and remain in work or education.
The toolkit was developed in collaboration with the British Society for Rheumatology and the Society of Occupational Medicine alongside clinical experts, patient representative groups, college and university representatives and adolescents and young people themselves.
It sets out practical advice for employers and FE institutions to help adolescents and young people maintain good MSK health and help those with existing MSK conditions to thrive in their environment.
