Ep 11. Grantham Aches and Pains Hub with Gemma, Alison, and Nicola

In this episode, we discuss the Grantham Joint Aches and Pains Hub event with Gemma Wright, Personalised Care Lead, K2 Primary Care Network, and Alison Wilkinson and Nicola Bussey, both Physiotherapists at United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH). Led by the K2 Healthcare Sleaford Primary Care Network (PCN) and the It's All About People Personalisation Programme team, the Grantham project brought together statutory, third sector and independent providers at a local leisure centre in the town to offer a ‘one-stop-shop’ for people experiencing joint pain. The event allowed people to speak to various health and care professionals in an informal, non-clinical environment. Given the increasing pressures on primary care and local hospital services, this was intended to improve people’s access to professional advice and support. Key to this discussion is the theme of working differently and how that feels for clinicians.
