The ROH is thrilled to announce its shortlisting in the ‘Driving Prevention and Early Intervention through Digital’ category at the HSJ Digital Awards 2025, an amazing recognition of its dedication to pioneering digital solutions that are shaping the future of healthcare across the UK.
The ROH has been shortlisted for spearheading work with the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System (ICS) on the GetUBetter app helping to treat MSK patients in the region.
An estimated 20.3 million people across the UK are affected by MSK conditions like arthritis and back pain. This is likely to increase in the future, increasing demands on the system. Access to services isn't equitable, and we need to ensure people receive the right help at the right time, no matter where they live.
In BSOL, we have been striving to embed digital health technology within patient pathways, enabling access to clear, consistent, self-management advice. The MSK Transformation Programme was established in 2021, led by The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital. GetUBetter is a self-help app which prescribes self-management, tailored to patients’ specific needs.
