Inaugural Event � 2026
Celebrating Excellence Across the MSK Profession
What Are The MSK Awards?
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
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
