The aim of this study was to assess patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) opinions on the validity of using a biopsychosocial model rather than a biomedical model in alleviating patient symptoms/pain. We constructed a questionnaire to assess beliefs on the effectiveness of using a biopsychosocial or biomedical model to develop a treatment plan to optimise patient symptoms/pain. We distributed the questionnaire to new and follow-up patients and healthcare professional in the orthopaedic department.Introduction
