Validation of a questionnaire for Central nervous system Aspects of joint Pain: the CAP questionnaire.

Background And Aims: Neuropathic-like pain, fatigue, cognitive difficulty, catastrophising, anxiety, sleep disturbance, depression, and widespread pain associate with a single factor in people with knee pain. We report the Central Aspects of Pain questionnaire (CAP) to characterise this across painful musculoskeletal conditions.

Methods: CAP was derived from the 8 item CAP-Knee questionnaire, and completed by participants with joint pain in the Investigating Musculoskeletal Health and Wellbeing survey.

Rising to the challenge: Qualitative assessment of medical student perceptions responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We know very little about the motivation of those volunteering, or their concerns in deploying to a new role. We aim to establish the reasons that medical students volunteered in one Trust and understand to their concerns.
