Abstract
Purpose: First Contact Practitioners (FCPs) have shown a positive impact to the musculoskeletal (MSK) pathway by delivering MSK expertise in primary care. The national evaluation has given a high-level summary of this but only focused on a small range of outcomes i.e imaging and secondary care referral rates and didn’t analyse the underlying differences between FCP and GP clinical decision making. The aim of this project was to evaluate the differences between how a GP and an FCP manage patients. In addition, we explored a richer layer of how patients were managed.
