PCRMM is proud to be part of an MSK/rheumatology taskforce, along with members of the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine and British association of Sports and Exercise Medicine with the aim of working with the RCGP to develop an accreditation pathway for GPwERs in MSK and rheumatology. The plan being to align with the Advanced Practice work of Health Education England.
