What Are The MSK Awards?
The First Major Awards for MSK Healthcare
Across the UK, teams are reshaping patient journeys. Inspiring leaders are bringing people together to deliver truly outstanding care. Dedicated MSK clinicians are changing patients’ lives every day.
But too often, those achievements go unseen. The MSK Awards were created to recognise the people, teams and organisations shaping the future of musculoskeletal healthcare.
Hosted by Physio First and Physio Matters, this inaugural event brings the profession together for one unforgettable evening of celebration, recognition and connection.
Why The MSK Awards Exist
Recognition That Raises Standards
MSK care is one of the largest and most impactful areas of healthcare delivery in the UK. Millions of patients rely on MSK professionals every year — yet the individuals and teams delivering this work rarely receive the recognition they deserve.
The MSK Awards shine a spotlight on those achievements. Because celebrating excellence raises standards across the entire profession.
Leading innovative services that transform how musculoskeletal care is delivered
Transforming patient outcomes and improving quality of life across communities
Building outstanding multidisciplinary teams and supporting communities to move again
Developing the next generation of outstanding MSK practitioners
Award Categories
Eight Categories of Excellence
Finalists will be selected through an independent judging process involving respected leaders from across the MSK profession.
