Implementing clinical guidelines is more likely to be successful when the whole practice team is committed to the process. Practices from the MRC General Practice Research Framework in two distinct geographical centres in the UK (West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester) participated in the feasibility study for the UK Back pain Exercise And Manipulation (UK BEAM) trial. Practice teams were randomized to continue with their usual care for back pain patients, or to be trained in managing back pain in line with national guidelines. Those randomized to the intervention arm of the trial were invited to attend training, delivered by either a generic trainer or a back pain expert.
