Patient Care Pathways
The BESS Patient Care Pathways are being developed by BESS
members who are leading research and treatment in their expert areas. The
pathways have been specifically designed with patients and clinicians in mind
and are available for public access.
Currently, there are five completed pathways: Frozen Shoulder; Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis; Subacromial Shoulder Pain; Traumatic Shoulder Instability; Atraumatic Shoulder Instability. Several more are in development and once completed they too will be published in the BESS journal, Shoulder & Elbow.
Guidelines
BESS has also published the following guidelines in Shoulder & Elbow:
- In conjunction with the BOA: Investigation and management of periprosthetic joint infection in the shoulder and elbow
- BESS Surgical procedure guidelines: The provision of primary and revision elbow replacement surgery in the NHS
