Modelling Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy services across Exeter, Mid and East Devon


30 Second Summary

The project explores demand and access to Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy services in Exeter, Mid, and East Devon. It uses Geographic Modelling to show variations in demand and access times, using DES to optimize resource placement. A Streamlit App will be developed for ongoing service development and review.

This project aims to explore the demand for and access to Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy services across Exeter, Mid and East Devon.

Using Geographic Modelling to demonstrate variation in demand and access times for Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy services across Exeter, Mid & East Devon.

Using Discrete Event Simulation to model how placement of resources (staffing) can reduce variation.

To construct a Streamlit App from the above as a tool for ongoing service development and review.
