A research centre to tackle the effects of musculoskeletal disorders on employment and workplace productivity is to be established at the University of Southampton.
Arthitis Research UK and the Medical Research Council have set aside £1.4 million to set up a centre to find ways of reducing the impact of musculoskeletal disorders on the UK workforce.
