Work-related musculoskeletal disorders in the UK Ultrasound workforce: A scoping review to Inform prevention strategies.

This scoping review will map and analysis the existing evidence on WRMSD among the UK ultrasound workforce to inform the development of a prevention programme. It will identify and map available evidence with regards to prevalence, risk factors and impacts of WRMSD in this population, as well as current preventive strategies described in the literature. Any gaps in the current evidence base identified will be used to guide future research and to aid the development of a prevention programme. By systematically mapping existing evidence on WRMSD and identifying gaps in available research, this review seeks to inform future research priorities and support the development of evidence-based prevention strategies to improve workforce health and sustainability.
