Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention
Patients will be assessed by GPs who have attended an outreach workshop and trained at using an evidence based strategy for shoulder examination and treatment. GPs will have access to a decision support tool and patients is offered a tailored information package for self management.
Evidence based treatment strategy
Evidence-based clinical examination and treatment plan
Targeted patient information package
GPs will in cooperation with the patients tailor a information package targeted to the patients needs regarding their clinical shoulder diagnosis and individual implications and needs (Pain, sleep, exercises etc.).
Treatment as usual (TAU)
The participants enrolled in the control period will receive treatment as offered in general practice.
Treatment as usual (TAU)
Usual care as provided by the GP
