GRIT MSK

NHS & Healthcare

Every member of staff returned means more patients treated.

MSK pain drives waiting lists from both ends — patients waiting for physiotherapy, and the staff who would treat them off sick with the same conditions. ReVive works on both at once, remotely, from day one.

5–6 monthsTypical physiotherapy wait — and the longer the wait, the less likely the return

Nationally, trauma & orthopaedics is one of the largest elective waiting lists in England, with around 860,000 people waiting for treatment (The King's Fund, 2025) — a backlog that will not clear on staffing alone.

Two problems, one platform

Reduce the patient backlog and staff MSK absence together

No other MSK tool tackles both sides of the same problem. That dual return is what makes the business case for a board.

Patient backlog

Support more MSK patients without adding clinical headcount. Clinically-led triage and self-management free physiotherapists to focus on complex cases, and turn waiting-list time into productive prehabilitation.

Staff MSK absence

Frontline and manual-handling staff carry the highest MSK absence burden. Returning them to work cuts premium bank and agency cover and puts capacity straight back on the wards.

The virtuous circle

Staff recovery is capacity recovery

Absence in clinical teams is covered by bank staffing at premium cost — or not covered at all. Returning staff to work cuts the bank bill and puts capacity back on the wards and waiting lists.

The bank-staffing argument

Every avoided week of MSK absence is a week of premium bank or agency cover avoided — a saving that compounds across a board.

Prehabilitation capacity

Structured prehab before surgery, delivered remotely — better outcomes on the same clinical headcount.

Remote delivery for rural boards

In Dumfries & Galloway, the nearest MSK physio can be 60+ miles away. ReVive delivers assessment and treatment wherever the person is — with an offline mode for low-connectivity areas.

Equitable access

Urban deprivation and rural distance produce the same result: people who can't reach care. Voice guidance, high contrast, multilingual support and wheelchair-user assessments keep the front door open to everyone.

FAQ

NHS procurement questions

  • How does ReVive handle patient data and information governance?

    ReVive is designed to align with UK GDPR and the NHS Data Security and Protection (DSP) Toolkit, with data hosted in the UK. We complete an annual DSP Toolkit submission and provide a DPIA template to support your local information-governance review.

  • Is ReVive clinically safe, and do you meet NHS clinical safety standards?

    ReVive is clinically-led and operates a clinical risk-management approach designed to align with DCB0129, overseen by a named Clinical Safety Officer who is a registered clinician. We support your own DCB0160 deployment safety case. ReVive supports and assists clinicians; it does not diagnose, treat or cure.

  • Can ReVive integrate with our EPR, SystmOne or EMIS?

    ReVive is built to work alongside existing NHS systems using recognised interoperability standards, so referrals and outcomes flow into clinical workflows rather than a separate silo. Integration is scoped to your specific systems during onboarding.

  • What is the evidence base, and can we evaluate locally first?

    ReVive draws on published MSK self-management and prehabilitation evidence and is built around NHS MSK pathway best practice. We recommend a defined local pilot against agreed KPIs — waiting-list flow, self-management uptake and clinical time released — before wider rollout.

  • How does ReVive avoid worsening health inequalities and digital exclusion?

    ReVive is designed to align with NHS England's Inclusive Digital Healthcare framework and your ICB's duty to reduce inequalities: accessible design with readability and language options and WCAG considerations, plus clear non-digital fallback routes so no patient is left unsupported.
