Two podcasts from inside MSK healthcare.
One long, considered monthly conversation about what musculoskeletal healthcare keeps getting wrong. One short, honest rant about whatever has got under Dr Jo's skin this time. Neither is live yet: they are being prepared now.
How We've Got Musculoskeletal Health All Wrong.
Once a month, Dr Jo takes 40 to 45 minutes to look honestly at musculoskeletal healthcare from the inside, as a researcher and clinician. Not to knock it down, but to ask why so much of it still reacts to problems instead of preventing them, and what a better system could look like.
Expect episodes on:
Reaching people
Getting clear, useful information to the people who are actually struggling.
How research is done
The questions we ask, the methods we choose and what gets left out.
How it gets published
What makes it into journals, what doesn't, and why that matters.
How it's presented
How findings are turned into talks, headlines and guidance, and what gets lost on the way.
What we look at
The things MSK healthcare measures, and the things it quietly ignores.
How we train people
What universities and courses ask clinicians to learn, and what they don't.
Reacting, not preventing
Why the system waits for people to break instead of helping them not to.

What Grips My… in Healthcare.
Five to ten minutes. One thing Dr Jo has seen, read, heard or been told that has well and truly got up her nose, and she needs to talk about it. Now.
A misleading headline. A leaflet that makes no sense. A piece of advice that should have been retired years ago. Consider it a pressure valve: honest, occasionally exasperated, and usually funnier than it has any right to be.
When Dr Jo has done these on Facebook, they have been some of her most popular posts. So they are getting a home of their own.
Short enough for a coffee, a queue or the school run
No script, no slides, just the rant
