On Friday 10th November 2023, Matt Evans and colleagues lead the personalisation huddle and shared their work to embed approaches within the MSK pathway. 

Embedding personalised approaches in and around a clinical pathway 

Since February 2023, they have worked together to identify opportunities and resources in order to make the journey from hip/knee pain through to surgical recovery more personalised. Co-production has run throughout, often steering the work's ambition from the perspective of people with lived experience. It is ongoing but, so far, key milestones have been made in primary care (alongside the development of the virtual clinics), secondary care (physiotherapy and orthopaedics) and the community sector (physical activity and leisure partners). 

The video above is a recording of the huddle and contains presentations and interviews spanning the breadth of this work. There are transferable activities that colleagues can use in other pathways as Matt shares both what and how they have worked. To help navigate the full presentation, here are some key moments in the recording:

• 0 mins - Mapping the pathway and setting the scene for change
• 8 mins 23 secs - Co-production and lived experience 
• 23 mins - building a theory of change 
• 29 mins - working with primary care 
• 52 mins 30 secs - Shared Decision Making Tools
• 1hr 5 mins 50 secs - evaluating SDM via CollaboRATE
• 1hr 13 mins 19 secs - linking community support to the pathway 
• 1hr 21 mins - using what we have in the leisure sector 
• 1hr 32 mins 10 secs - next steps: health village, preparing people and monitoring 
• 1hr 35mins 45 secs - re-cap of the process
