Study summary

The aim of this study is to measure the impact of musculoskeletal (MSK) complaints on the quality of life and general health of MSK Patients attending MSK triage clinics. The investigators will also record the proposed management options for patients' complaints. This will be achieved by asking patients to complete questionnaires (MSK HQ) at musculoskeletal triage clinic appointment, by undertaking a clinical assessment, by recording the proposed management plan and assessing if patients have follow up appointments for the same complaint in the following year. The investigators will also measure patient satisfaction using VSQ 9 Questionnaire. After a year the investigators will repeat the MSK HQ to assess the longterm impact of MSK Triage appointment on the MSK complaint.
