Musculoskeletal Primary Care e-Learning Programme for Nurses

With musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders on the increase, all healthcare professionals need to have a comprehensive understanding of how to identify and distinguish MSK issues from other health problems and how best to support patients living with these conditions.

The Musculoskeletal e-Learning Programme includes eight bite-sized learning sessions which cover a host of topics, such as identifying the ill and at risk, public health, dealing with persistent pain and mental health considerations.

You can study online at home, in work or on the move – fitting the learning around your professional commitments.

The programme can be used as part of blended learning or as a standalone resource.

Real-world learning for healthcare professionals

The content has been written and peer-reviewed by practising physiotherapists, allied healthcare practitioners and a GP trainer. This ensures a person-centred approach to the common issues associated with primary care MSK management.

The programme includes many case studies, diagrams, illustrations and videos, to embed learning on the key topics. Using patient case studies, you can test your knowledge in a virtual consultation, helping to build your understanding and confidence. There are links to further reading and other external resources.

You can complete self-assessment exercises at the end of each session. If you achieve the pass mark (80%) across all assessments, you can download or print a certificate for inclusion in your training or CPD portfolio.

This is an essential learning resource for all healthcare professionals working in primary care.

eIntegrity programmes are developed by NHS Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare programme (HEE e-LfH). 

The programmes are high quality self-directed learning programmes.  They are designed to support training and CPD and are excellent resources alongside other traditional teaching methodologies.  They have been developed by the UK NHS for use in the NHS.  However, many of the programmes have international relevance, particularly the specialty training programmes which are often mapped to UK specialty training curricula.
