A new partnership across the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICS
We are very excited to be working with the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICS in support of their Transforming Musculoskeletal Services Programme.
The project builds on the success of the app at the RJAH
About the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care System (ICS)
Shropshire has an estimated population of around 310,000 and Telford & Wrekin has an estimated population (for the borough) of around 170,000. Of these, around 150,000 live in Telford itself, making it the largest town within the ICS and it is one of the fastest-growing towns in the United Kingdom.
In the Shropshire Council area, Shrewsbury is the largest town with a population of 70,600 with the second largest being Oswestry with a population of just 16,600.
Among other services, the area includes two acute hospitals and the specialist orthopaedic hospital The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (RJAH), which is a leading orthopaedic centre of excellence.

Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin patients get access to RJAH app
Kerry Robinson, senior responsible officer for the Transforming Musculoskeletal Services Programme says patients will be able to access a range of information, such as videos, articles and exercise routines to help them manage their condition, and track their progress.
“We’re thrilled to team up with myrecovery to be able to offer this great resource to our patients in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin," said Kerry.
“The rollout of this app is part of our bigger transformation programme for MSK, where we are planning to simplify the patient referral process, make it easier for people to move between our MSK services, and ensure that people have access to the same high standard of care wherever they live in the county.
“The app will allow our teams to tailor information and advice to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, whilst also enabling them to remotely monitor patient status and progress.”
Stuart Hubbard, head of partnerships at Future Health Works said: “It is a privilege for us to expand from supporting patients using the fantastic Veterans Orthopaedic service at the RJAH, to now supporting patients and care teams across the county.
“We look forward to being a part of the county’s MSK service transformation, helping patients through their treatment journey, both in the community and those who are referred to surgery, whilst also providing important insights to the care teams.”
The myrecovery app and msk.ai dashboard will also help the musculoskeletal teams when it comes to collecting and reporting data, helping staff to get a better understanding of patient disease progression, treatment outcomes, their performance and the care they provide.
