Wirral Integrated Musculoskeletal Service

Please use self management guidance for MSK conditions prior to referral to MSK service. These are provided below for each area of the body.

When you do send a referral it will be triaged and sent to the appropriate healthcare professional for assessment, diagnostics and further management as required.

If the patient meets urgent criteria (red flags, suspected cancer, fractures) do not refer to the MSK Service – make direct referral to the appropriate service  using the correct pathway.

For referrals to Fracture clinic use  wih-tr.fractureclericalstaff@nhs.net

GPs are still able to order urgent MRIs for patients that meet the criteria (eg for patients with a past medical history of cancer)
