The CSP shares experience of Community Appointment Day in HSJ
We were lucky enough to welcome some of the team from The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy at our most recent Community Appointment Day to experience what this innovative approach is all about!
Sara Hazzard (She/her), Senior Strategic Communications, Campaigns, Policy, Improvement and Marketing Leader at The CSP has shared her thoughts about the day in a fantastic article for the Health Service Journal – ‘How to radically reduce your MSK waiting list in two days’.
The model allows clinicians to provide better care by working with local community services, focusing on prevention and health promotion, and truly reaching the people who really need this support.

Thank you to Sara, Mindy Dalloway and Clare Aldridge from The CSP for joining us.

Rethinking Our Health: Supporting people living with long-term pain
We’ve been asking communities what really matters when they’re living with pain. In this update, we share what we heard, what surprised us, and how this learning is shaping a new three-part support offer for MSK pain that starts locally, builds on existing strengths, and is designed together.
Early Pain Support: Insights From our first Community Drop-In
As part of Rethinking Our Health, we hosted our first community pain drop-in — a chance for people to talk things through early, get reassurance, and feel more confident about managing pain. This blog shares what we learned, and why having the right conversation at the right time really matters.
