For 2018 only, the above course delivered by Andrew is being combined with Jack March’s ‘Rheumatology in MSK’ one day masterclass to make a two-day workshop – only a few places remain so do not miss out!
Jack March is the Clinical Lead for the Rheumatology service delivered by Chews Health and is a staple voice behind The Physio Matters Podcast. He has written articles on the recognition of Rheumatological presentations within the Musculoskeletal clinic with his ‘Recognising RA Tool’ being downloaded.
This course will cover the recognition of Rheumatology and Systemic Inflammatory Disorders; following recognition the appropriate immediate management, investigations and onward referral as well as the required Physiotherapy management of such presentations.
The course is suitable for all Physiotherapists in Musculoskeletal settings who are involved in the recognition, monitoring or management of Rheumatology disorders. It will be particularly useful to First Contact Practitioners, aspiring Advanced Practice Physiotherapists (APPS) or experienced APPs looking for an update. You can choose to attend either one day of the week (i.e. Red Flags or Rheumatology) or you can attend both for a discounted fee!
