“…In spite of response rate obtained which was 70.5% ,it was higher than a study reported on 2014 and 2001 of 35.2% and 10% respectively, this rate was somehow still considered low (Cummings, Savitz, & Konrad, 2001;Kassam et al, 2014 (Timothy, McFarlane, & Cook, 2008).…”

“…As a relatively new specialty SEM is continuing to find its place within the UK healthcare system; many fellow healthcare professionals have limited knowledge of the specialty and the skills SEM physicians possess 15 16. As a specialty we need to demonstrate we can stand alongside conventional specialties by being prepared to methodically examine our practice, ensure physicians practising within SEM are sufficiently capable and ensure they are working at a high level consistent throughout the UK 17.…”

ObjectiveSport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) Masters curricula vary. This Delphi study is aimed to create a consensus curriculum for doctors undertaking SEM Masters courses.MethodsA modified Delphi survey was used. An expert panel was established of individuals deemed to have adequate knowledge of the field. The research group developed the initial draft of the curriculum by collating and reviewing previously published UK-based postgraduate SEM-related curricula. There were two phases. In phase 1 the expert group either accepted, rejected or modified each learning objective (LO). During phase 2 the expert group were asked to accept or reject each LO that did not get accepted outright previously. The research group analysed the levels of agreements and the comments given by the expert panel after each phase.ResultsThe expert panel consisted of 45 individuals, with 35 completing phase 2 (78% retention rate). Of the 136 LOs initially collated: 71 (52%) were accepted outright, 60 (44%) were altered in some way and reincluded in phase 2, and 5 (4%) were removed after phase 1. The research group added 2 (1%) new LOs on reflection over comments made by the expert panel. The final curriculum contained 133 LOs, divided into 11 subthemes.ConclusionsThe findings will better inform educators when developing SEM Masters curricula and inform students what they should look for when considering an SEM Masters. This consensus curriculum is an important step in standardising postgraduate SEM education.

“…This relates to services that pMSKD access related to their condition, and if EPA interventions can change an individual's level of healthcare utilisation. Although the systematic searches in phase 1 of this study did not provide studies specifically reporting on healthcare utilisation, this seems to be a regularly used outcome in studies about MSKD [60][61][62]. Cost-effectiveness/healthcare costs were also included within the final COS.…”

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSKD) create a significant burden on individuals and society. Physical activity is an effective way of self-managing MSKD. Global health policy routinely recommends the instigation of management approaches to support people with MSKD to engage in physical activity. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in outcome measurement and establishing whether interventions are effective or not.A way of addressing this is to develop a core outcome set (COS). This study aims to identify a COS for exercise and physical activity interventions for people with MSKD.Methods: Guidance from the COMET initiative was followed. The study had two phases. 1) A systematic search of effectiveness studies investigating interventions that aim to increase physical activity levels in people with MSKD was conducted. All outcome concepts evaluated were extracted from the included studies.2) Patients with MSKD and expert stakeholders then participated in an online and workshop-based consensus process. In accordance with other COS development studies, 70% agreement was required for a concept to be included in the final COS.Results: Phase 1: 25 studies were identified from the systematic searches and 50 conceptually different outcomes were extracted.Phase 2: 14 group members were recruited to the consensus phase. Function, Patient satisfaction, Physical activity, Quality of Life, Pain, Cost-effectiveness, Self-efficacy, Knowledge to plan future exercise, Utilisation of health services were the concepts that reached the 70% threshold for inclusion in the final COS. Conclusions:This study provides a COS that could provide an outcome measurement strategy in interventions that aim to increase exercise and physical activity in people with MSKD.

General practitioners’ attitude to sport and exercise medicine services: a questionnaire-based survey

Abstract: There is a lack of awareness and understanding among GPs on the role of SEM within the National Health Service which may be resulting in suboptimal utilisation especially for patients who could benefit from increasing their activity levels.
