"Record long NHS waits are forcing huge numbers of people out of work, including doctors and nurses," said Wes Streeting MP, Labour's Shadow Health and
Social Care Secretary as Labour announced a new partnership with Nuffield Health today to tackle joint pain issues among NHS staff and reducing waiting lists.
Musculoskeletal problems, including back, knee, hip, and neck pain, are the second leading cause of NHS staff absences, surpassed only by mental health issues.
In December 2023 alone, NHS workers missed a record 198,000 days due to these issues, marking a 13 per cent increase from the 174,000 days recorded in December 2019.
Nurses and health visitors accounted for 52,000 of these days, up from 47,000 pre-pandemic, while doctors took 3,500 days off, a 9 per cent increase from 2019.
The partnership with Nuffield Health will provide up to 4,000 extra places for NHS staff in Nuffield Health's Joint pain Programme at no cost.
A recent study presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Venice sheds light on the detrimental effects of obesity on workplace absenteeism and economic
productivity.
The analysis, encompassing data from millions of workers across Europe, reveals a direct correlation between body mass index (BMI) and the likelihood of taking sick
leave.
According to the study, obese individuals are up to twice as likely to take time off work due to health issues compared to those of a healthy weight.
The increased sick notes among obese individuals is attributed to various complications associated with obesity, including joint pain, diabetes, depression, and
heart disease.
In the United Kingdom, where obesity rates are among the highest in Europe, the impact of obesity on workplace absenteeism is particularly pronounced.

Pain is a universal experience, with nearly everyone encountering it at some point in their lives. Whether it's acute or chronic, Pain can significantly
diminish the quality of life and hinder daily activities. Understanding the multifaceted nature of Pain is crucial in developing effective management strategies.
Asbestos poisoning is a serious health concern that can have long-lasting effects on your well-being. Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to various health
issues, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. If you suspect that you've been exposed to asbestos or are experiencing symptoms related to asbestos
poisoning, it's crucial to take immediate action.
1. Recognize the Symptoms
The first step in dealing with asbestos poisoning is to recognize the symptoms. Common signs of asbestos exposure include shortness of breath, persistent coughing,
chest pain, and fatigue. Additionally, you may experience respiratory issues such as wheezing or difficulty breathing. Exploring the use of asbestos at Honeywell
in Massachusetts can help you get a better understanding of the potential risks associated with asbestos exposure and the importance of taking proactive measures
to protect yourself and your loved ones from its harmful effects. It's essential to pay attention to any changes in your health and seek medical attention if you
suspect asbestos exposure.
We all know that pain is a universal experience. The management of pain remains a significant challenge worldwide. The ever-growing statistics reveal the
importance of pain. There persists concern about inertia in both acknowledging and effectively treating it. According to the Global pain Index, a comprehensive
social study conducted with 19,000 consumers in 2020, a staggering 93% of the world's population experiences pain within a year, with 1 in 3 individuals grappling
with it daily.
The Challenges
There cannot be anyone working in or with community pharmacy that either feels or sees the pain that emanates from the current operating climate. Pharmacy
closures; increased workload and operating costs; increased patient and commissioner expectations; and, more fundamentally, an inadequate, undervalued and
poorly structured remuneration and reimbursement contractual framework.
As important as they are, we will not focus on these points here as they are not in the control of pharmacy owners and managers. They are the responsibility
of those organisations that represent them at a national and local level who must deliver a better outcome as difficult as that may be.
However, there are matters which are in the control of pharmacy owners and managers. These include their premises, their team, their systems and processes, their
relationships with other healthcare providers and the broader community, their NHS and private service offer, and how they promote and deliver them to give the best
patient experience.
In order to create the head space to develop and implement a business plan, pharmacy owners and managers must make time to work on their business as well as in it.
Then it requires the capacity and capability within their team to deliver the services and that excellent patient experience.

In a move to make healthcare more accessible, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has announced plans to empower pharmacy technicians, dental
therapists, and hygienists with enhanced authority following two public consultations run by the government in 2023.
Revealed by Primary Care Minister Andrea Leadsom on Thursday 28th March, this strategic decision promises to usher in "a faster, simpler, and fairer access to
primary care" by granting pharmacy professionals "the ability to both supply and administer medications".
Based on the public consultations that garnered widespread support, with 97% backing the empowerment of dental hygienists and therapists and 84% favouring similar
rights for pharmacy technicians, the new reform is aimed to cut through bureaucratic red tape and bolster efficiency in patient care.
Dental hygienists and therapists, under the proposed change, will be empowered to administer select medications, including pain relief and fluoride, without the
need for dentist approval.
