I appreciate the present flux of the PCT and wish to become involved, with a service for persistent/ chronic low back pain in primary care, this is in response to the NICE call CG88 for alternatives to sequential treatments in secondary care, this is a treatment not a therapy and centres on the GP and the practice Nurse, sequential treatments in secondary care for back pain are costing over £500 million, most of this could be drawn in to Primary Care with the proposed system, it carries the support of spinal surgeons, who do you advise I present it to?
