Healthcare Risk Management

The HRM Tour de Frog Team were a part of the Action Medical Research London to Paris Charity bike ride in the summer as you will see from our Blog. The great news is that the Charity with our help and the other teams and riders in the event raised a fantastic £908,589.00 and the money continues to come in, will it reach the magical £1M.

So well done to everyone who took part and we have already entered for the event in 2010 and we will be looking for support again.  The money is well used and details can be found on the Action Medical Research Website.

Here at Healthcare RM we deal with some difficult cases of musculoskeletal problems on a daily basis. By applying some very strong biopsychosocial and pain management principles we have had some startling successes.
