The Healthy Workplaces Programme has a wonderful opportunity for you and your workplace!

On Thursday 8th September, 1.30pm- 2.30pm– we have teamed up with Professor Tony Woolf, expert in MSK Health who is kindly offering a FREE 1 hour webinar.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) problems such as back pain, arthritis, sprains and strains are the most common problem in the workplace and are one of the commonest causes of absence from work. MSK problems affect our bones and joints, they cause pain and reduce dexterity and mobility. This limits people’s ability to work and impacts the productivity of businesses, both large and small. A musculoskeletal (MSK) healthy workplace enables people to be healthy, fit and stay in work. Despite this, many individuals and businesses are not aware of how they can help themselves and others. MSK Aware aims to help you address this.
