ABC-MSK's vision
At the Aberdeen Centre for Research Excellence in Musculoskeletal Health (ABC-MSK), our vision is to facilitate innovative interdisciplinary clinical, research and training activities at the University of Aberdeen and NHS Grampian. We are working together to improve the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions.
These are diseases with an enormous socio-economic burden, and they are set to rise with the ageing population. We seek to promote world-class research which informs the provision of high-quality care for patients with arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions in the North East of Scotland.
Who we are
ABC-MSK is led by Director Rosemary Hollick and Deputy Director Luke Farrow, and encompasses a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, academics, data scientists and patient partners working together to achieve our vision.
Our research
Our research is led by a number of collaborating academic groups across the University of Aberdeen and NHS Grampian.
Clinical services
The Foresterhill Health Campus is one of the largest hospitals in Europe, and is also home to the Medical and Dental Schools and Biomedical Research Institutes of the University of Aberdeen.
Patients in NHS Grampian benefit from the close working relationship between all specialties involved in the care of musculoskeletal conditions. These include the Department of Rheumatology and the Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery.
