Musculoskeletal Medicine in Practice

Abstract

Plymouth has now been served by the acute low back pain service for five years. A questionnaire was sent to users to assess the satisfaction with this diagnostic and treatment service. The results are presented, comprising general practitioners’ satisfaction, patients’ satisfaction, what other services are currently preferred, and whether a multi-site service or a single-site service, e.g. at the main hospital, is preferred.

Key Words::
