‘Back pack’ aims to ease discomfort of MSD

Backcare Awareness Week from 17 to 23 October aims to raise awareness of the problems back pain can cause, as well as its prevention and treatments.

In recognition of this event, organised by the BackCare charity for healthier backs, the NHS Employers organisation is highlighting our Back Pack. This web-based guidance provides staff and employers with the information they need to facilitate a speedy return to work if they are affected by a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). It also provides guidance and information that will help to decrease MSDs in the NHS

The Back Pack is aimed primarily at healthcare workers and their managers in NHS organisations and other healthcare settings.
