Residents living with long-term chronic pain, aches and pains, a new niggle, or any other musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are being encouraged to attend a free community wellbeing event taking place at Bullcroft Memorial Hall, Carcroft, on Thursday 16 July, from 12pm to 7pm.
This event marks the first time that Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) MSK Physiotherapy Services have offered a walk-in format, delivered in partnership with Be Well Doncaster and a range of local organisations.
Attendees will have access to physiotherapy advice, workshops, guest speakers, employment support, wellbeing activities, health checks and opportunities to speak directly with healthcare professionals.
The Cervical Screening Van, Stop Smoking Service and local GP teams providing cardiovascular health checks will also be available on the day alongside Citizens Advice and employment teams.
The event is open to everyone, with dedicated information and advice available around women's health.
Councillor James Church, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, Public Health and Traded Services, said: "I'm incredibly proud to see the first event of its kind in South Yorkshire taking place here in Doncaster. Early advice and support can make a real difference when it comes to managing pain and musculoskeletal conditions, and this event will help connect residents with local services, health professionals and community support all under one roof.
“By making it easier for people to access the help they need, we're empowering residents to take positive steps towards improving their health and wellbeing. We hope this is the first of many events that will benefit communities across the region.”
The Carcroft event is the first in a planned series of community wellbeing events across South Yorkshire, helping more residents access support closer to where they live.
Residents are welcome to drop in at any time between 12pm and 7pm and are being encouraged to register their interest in the event in advance: Musculoskeletal Community Event Tickets, Thursday, July 16 • 12 PM - 7 PM
