Adrian is new in post and is keen to expand his understanding of frontline MSK services. His role involves working closely with patient charities, professional bodies, and NHS England to help shape high quality, integrated, person centred care, particularly in support of the 10 Year Health Plan for England.
He met staff and was interested to see how our service operates day to day, hearing about the challenges we face, and learning more about the realities of delivering in St Helens. He talked about the recent investment in neighbourhood health services here and wanted to understand how that’s being implemented locally.
