Introduction:
The Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Screening Clinic and Multi-disciplinary Service (MPSC&MDS) is an advanced practice physiotherapist-led model of care developed initially to address overburdened specialist orthopaedic outpatient public hospital services across Queensland, Australia.
Purpose:
This Masterclass explores the experiences and success of embedding the MPSC&MDS state-wide across the Queensland public health system and its expansion in scale and reach to other specialist services. Key characteristics and development strategies are described that have collectively underpinned the expansion and sustainability of the service, using relevant stream sections and themes from a recommended musculoskeletal model of care framework.
Implications:
The aim of this masterclass is to be informative for readers involved in the future development or refinement of similar models of care.
