National Physiotherapy Low Back Pain Audit - Improving Back care in Scotland project
There are approximately 1,000 referrals made to NHS physiotherapists in Scotland per month of people suffering low back pain problems. Recent guidelines from the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, together with those from other validated sources, will be used to undertake a national audit to establish current management, suggest national standards and local improvement plans and subsequent re-audit. This ground breaking project will evaluate what core standards for this physiotherapy management of LBP patients exist, irrespective of geography. This project will start in April 2008 and will run for one year.
