Who are we?
Telford Musculoskeletal Service (TeMS) is for people with musculoskeletal conditions affecting joints, bones and muscles. Our team includes health professionals covering all musculoskeletal specialist areas who can provide a comprehensive assessment and a range of treatment plans in a community or hospital setting. TeMS believes in high quality patient experience of care across all providers. Patient experience is not only measured by accessibility, but through the use of shared decision making and self-management support and encouragement. Shared-decision making involving the patient at each step in the assessment process; this means “no decision about me, without me”.
High value care is delivered through evidenced based care pathways with defined clinical outcomes, minimising duplication, variation and waste.
