The impact experienced seems to be influenced by factors such as their age and their mental health statusz\\\\. This suggests that setting one target for all may not be the right thing to do. However, we don't yet know whether waiting over 14 weeks has a big effect on impact. We also don't know about the lived experience of those waiting, while they wait, despite knowing that learning this is vital to informing change.\n\nWe plan to study the impact of waiting for these services by asking those waiting to complete a survey that measures the impact of their msk problem, at the start and end of their wait, and then understanding how the scores correlate with length of time waited. We will also ask some of these people to document their experience as they wait.

Using Virtual Reality therapies in the patient's own home, will provide a therapeutic bridge to assist their transition back into richer, and more meaningful lives, despite pain. Virtual reality therapy can offer a 'dress-rehearsal' - to practise Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and movement skills, to support patients to have the courage to leave their homes and step into 'real-life'. It is also of benefit as it fits in with the participants who have other commitments eg work, looking after a relative or other dependents, school run, etc which makes it impossible to access standard treatment as usual.
