About

The Centre for Musculoskeletal Health and Work (CMHW) is a multidisciplinary collaboration between 8 UK universities, including Southampton. Our partners are:

  • University of Aberdeen

The Centre's musculoskeletal research focuses on 3 areas:

Within each, we investigate how to measure work outcomes, identifying evidence to help employers see the value of workplace interventions, and working with policy makers.
