## TRUSTEES' REPORT 

_for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Primary Care Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Medicine Society (the company) for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

Since the company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required. 

## _**OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**_ 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The principal aims of the PCRMM Society are as follows:- 

(a) 

To educate, foster and improve the teaching and knowledge of rheumatology and musculoskeletal medicine in general medical practice; 

(b) To advance and promote research into the subject of rheumatology and musculoskeletal medicine by education, knowledge and skill standards, funding of research projects, publications and research data. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Society is recognised as an important source of advice, education, ideas and initiatives in musculoskeletal medicine and rheumatology in primary care in the UK. The Society works with both patient and professional groups in this field. 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to the general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit. 

## _**STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**_ 

## **Governing document** 

The organisation was incorporated on 20 October 2004 and is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, without a share capital and is therefore governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. It became a registered charity on 11 January 2005. 

The Society is managed by the Executive and Advisory committees in accordance with the Articles of Association. 

The Incorporation document and Articles of Association were updated in 2020 to reflect the Society’s change of name and update the Articles of Association with changes to the law since it had last been completed.

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) 

_for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## **Appointment, induction and training of new trustees** 

Trustees are appointed based on a skills audit and their relative experience. New members are selfappointed with no criteria as agreed with the Charity Commission. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks (in particular professional, ethical, reputational and financial) to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

## **Merger** 

Discussions around the proposed merger of FSEM and PCRMM remain on hold. There are no plans to resurrect these talks in the near future. 

## **Review of the PCRMM Society** 

The financial changes made over the last year, reducing staff salaries and other outgoings, have successfully controlled the excessive expenditure of the society such that the financial future of the society is assured in the short to medium term. In November 2023, PCRMM employed the services of Signature Healthcare Communications to manage the day to day running of PCRMM including the administration of educational events. External agencies are also subcontracted as part of this arrangement for example relating to call handling and event IT requirements. 

The membership database continues to be monitored and updated. This has facilitated the identification of overdue subscriptions which it is hoped will increase revenue and reduce staff admin time. 

In November 2023 Dr Louise Warburton and Dr Chris Ellis, replaced Dr Lucy Douglas and Krystian Dawiec as co-presidents. 

They are advised and assisted by the Executive  Committee  who are a group of volunteers drawn from membership, and report back to the Trustees. The Executive Committee members have previously received a small honorarium for their services. However this is currently being reviewed and may in future be linked to activities. 

The trustees include, Head of Trustees Dr  Arthur Mone, Dr Lucy Douglas and Professor Philip Conaghan., Philipp Khokhlof was appointed in 2023. Stephanie Dicks stepped down mid 2023.

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) 

_for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## **Membership** 

At the close of 2023 the membership was around 300 members. Unfortunately the set up of the website and membership database contained therein doesn't allow for an accurate assessment of members with an active subscription This is being looked into . The number of non-medical members remains the larger proportion of the membership. This reflects the range of health care professionals currently working in MSK in  primary care. 

## **Website & Social Media** 

The website continues to be well utilised and is regularly updated to allow marketing of the society and its activities, and hopefully contributes to the increase in membership numbers. The website is regularly updated with learning material for members. 

Social media i.e. Twitter continues to be utilised to good effect. This increases the society’s impact and influence in the MSK clinical sphere. 

## _**ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**_ 

## **Achievements** 

## Primary Care Rheumatology (PCR) Conference 

Due to the success of the society's previous online conference, the same format was chosen for the 2023 conference. This again worked well. 

The second Diploma Edcational Course was run in 2023 to provide preparation for the FSEM MSK Diploma. This event included 2 online study days and pay to view dedicated website pages. The course was well received and generated income for the society. PCRMM continues to run evening educational webinars on a variety of topics. 

## Distance Learning Programme 

The society also provides feedback when asked to contribute, on guideline development for example NICE and NOGG.

**PRIMARY CARE RHEUMATOLOGY AND MUSCULOSKELETAL MEDICINE SOCIETY** 

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) 

_for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## Diploma 

Following meetings with the Faculty of Sports and Exercise medicine in 2022 it was decided that henceforth FSEM would take over the running and hosting of the diploma exam, whilst PCRMM would concentrate on providing education. This avoided potential conflict of interest whereby those involved in education were also involved in question writing and standard setting. It also allowed each society to make best use of their prior expertise. For PCRMM this is education. 

## _**FINANCIAL REVIEW**_ 

## **Financial review** 

## Income 

- Income has decreased by £13,505 from £80,657 to £67,152, mainly due to reduction in Diploma funding.

- Donations were received totalling £70 in the year. 

- Income from workshops and Symposia meeting increased by £7,285. 

## Expenditure 

• Expenditure has increased by £10,250 from £64,345 to £74,595, mainly due to an increase in colsultancy fees. 

- Admin costs of £21,543 arose in the year. 

- There were no FSEM Diploma costs in the year. 

- Website costs totalled £2,450. 

- Most other costs are comparable to 2022. 

- Consultancy fees totalled £18,000 in the year. 

## Investments 

• Gains on investments were £7,340 compared to losses of £13,106 in 2022. This increase would have been expected due to how the stock markets have performed over 2023.

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) 

_for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## Balance Sheet 

• Depreciation for the year was £410. 

• Investments: Gains in the year of £7,340. The value of the investments at 31 December 2023 were £190,843. 

• Debtors: Trade debtors of £2,653 was for gift aid claims. 

• Cash at bank: Cash held at 31 December 2023 was £27,364 compared to £36,989 at 31 December 2022. This included money held in both bank accounts and the PayPal account. 

• Creditors: Accruals of £1,200 are items of expenditure that related to 2023 that were paid or due to be paid in 2024. 

## Reserves 

• The charity has funds carried forward of £219,570 of which £nil are restricted, £3,534 are designated by the trustees (£885 A Martynoga Award & £2,649 J Dickson Award). 

• The charity has enough funds to meet present obligations. As has been the case this year, money held in investments can be sold in future years to help with cash-flow purposes, so there are no issues in the immediate future if the charity continues to make deficits in the coming years. 

## **Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees consider that the present level of reserves can be maintained, and that future expenditure will be met from income generated in that period. The Society has continued to maintain a reasonable amount of income in reserve, as it is considered that pharmaceutical support is decreasing and may cease in the near future. This reserve will allow the Society to continue its activities whilst securing funding from other sources.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) 

_for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## _**TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT**_ 

The Trustees (who are also directors of the Primary Care Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Medicine Society for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and dedection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In preparing this report, the Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006. 

The report was approved by the Trustees on 25 October 2024 and signed on their behalf by:

• the accounts do not accord with such records; or 

• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

**PRIMARY CARE RHEUMATOLOGY AND MUSCULOSKELETAL MEDICINE SOCIETY** 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS _for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## _**(a) General information and basis of preparation of financial statements**_ 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are on page 2 of these financial statements. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issues on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

The financial statements do not include a statement of cash flows because the charitable company, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under SORP (FRS 102). 

## _**(b) Going concern**_ 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

Page 12 



**PRIMARY CARE RHEUMATOLOGY AND MUSCULOSKELETAL MEDICINE SOCIETY** 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) _for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**(c) Funds**_ 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## _**(d) Income recognition**_ 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares. It includes dividends and interest. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established. 

Other income includes income such as gains on disposals of tangible fixed assets.

**PRIMARY CARE RHEUMATOLOGY AND MUSCULOSKELETAL MEDICINE SOCIETY** 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) _for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**(e) Expenditure recognition**_ 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. 

## _**(f) Support costs allocation**_ 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative and payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

The analysis of these costs is included in note 6. 

## _**(g) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**_ 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Assets costing less than £200 are not capitalised. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less their estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful lives as follows: 

Office equipment - Furniture - 10% on cost per annum - Equipment - 20% on cost per annum 

## _**(h) Investments**_ 

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transactions costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains/(losses) on investment' in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. 

## _**(i) Cash and cash equivalents**_ 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 

_for the year ended 31 December 2023_ 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**(j) Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

## _**(k) Tax**_ 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
