Starting day 1 of conference with an engaging symposium on pain! Some great expertise shared by Mike Stewart, Alison Llewellyn, Sarah Golding & Anthony Smith! Next up…paediatrics! #BSSHBAHT25

@tomgoom @TheHipPhysio This is great, I like the reference to gynae problems, this is definitely a consideration. A family member had a rare congenital gynae pathology diagnosed this year after I pushed hard to advocate that it was not MSK. Symptoms were low back and buttock pain especially night time.

Differential diagnosis in Posterior Hip Pain - a joint effort with @TheHipPhysio  Remember pain location will vary and is just one piece of the puzzle in diagnosis!

Fabulous week in Washington DC 🇺🇸 @IFSHandTherapy representing @BAHTHandtherapy and presenting my paper on the Development of a Therapist-led Hand Fracture Clinic 🙌 @LancsHospCITeam New connections, lots of learning and new ideas to take away💡 🧠

Dr Carly Wood, SRES Senior Lecturer, presented at the Cross University Research Event on People, Nature and Climate. She discussed her research on nature-based interventions such as social and therapeutic horticulture in the prevention and treatment of poor mental health. 👏 👏

@mrsbaileywrites Those are excellent grades, has he looked at places through clearing? I’m pretty sure the university of Essex has some spaces on Physiotherapy degree. It would definitely be worth contacting them with those grades.

Our A Level story. My lad got ABC. I sang Jackson 5. He wasn’t impressed. He got zero offers for physiotherapy 💔 He also was a pallbearer for my dad in Jan, saw his dad leave to go overseas in Apr. Still, he rose. I’m so fkn proud. He’s asked me for a year off. Uni can wait.

Why Essex? To compete at a national and international level. Volleyball scholar TJ honed his skills with @UniEssexPerform and competed for England while studying for his undergraduate degree in SRES @Uni_of_Essex. Read more about TJ's story ⬇️ essex.ac.uk/news/2024/07/0…

The benefits of the FCP role for our rheumatology patients and services! A follow up podcast from article published earlier this year.⁦@SRES_UoE⁩ ⁦@PhysioWillGreg⁩ ⁦@RheumatologyUK⁩ ⁦@physiojack⁩ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tal…

@jim_crawfurd @BrigantiPhysio @DrNeenaJha @neiljlangridge In reality it works well, so long as good surgery staff especially care navigators understand the role. I rarely need to direct patients onto GP but they are always there if I need. Much less that I identify need GP than come to me from a GP for second opinion. Its 2 way street!

@SarahGold1981 @BrigantiPhysio @DrNeenaJha @neiljlangridge The key thing is efficient and safe use of the available resources. So long as vast majority of physio FCP cases do turn out of be “physio problems” and they are rarely having to refer on to GP/other services (and not missing stuff) then it’s probably working ok. 1/2

Getting a lot of anger & backlash against this tweet from physiotherapy colleagues Firstly, I apologise if I’ve offended anyone, that was not my intention in the slightest. Throughout all messages I’ve emphasised how much I respect & appreciate the training physiotherapists undergo. I’ve learnt a lot from physios & their expertise & knowledge of MSK conditions - we refer to them for their expert opinion & input. The ONLY difference of opinion was for patients presenting with acute undifferentiated symptoms without a preceding hx of trauma - I feel as a GP, they should be triaged by a GP first rather than patients directly booking in a physio clinic. I’ve had many patients with acute ovarian pathology, gallstones & angina presenting with new onset shoulder pain - many of these patients assumed it was muscular in cause due to the location of pain. This is not saying I don’t believe physios cannot diagnose these conditions - just simply in these instances patients should be managed by a GP as per our job & training too in managing atypical presentations of medical conditions This does not in any way discount the contribution/importance of physiotherapists.

@BrigantiPhysio @DrNeenaJha @neiljlangridge FCPs alongside our GP colleagues are vital to ensure sustainability of the NHS….not forgetting that MSK problems are the second highest reason to book an appointment and constitute 25-30% of visits!

@DrNeenaJha @neiljlangridge More gps tomorrow would you be able to fill with gps is there 1000s out there. It needs funding to get more studying medicine and specialize in primary care and then gps can see every patient if they so chose but for majority of msk conditions FCP is vital to manage these.

@physiojack @PaulRegan_ FCPs can reduce burden on secondary care services and rheumatology so long as they are working at the right level. B7 or above is a must! academic.oup.com/rheumap/articl…

@PaulRegan_ Meh, why is a B6 an FCP? That's obviously a mistake. I have incredible respect for GPs they can assess a million things better than I can. But back pain?

I would back the average MSK Physio over the average GP for undifferentiated back pain. Come at me.

Also brilliant to see one of our lecturers (@AliceHarkness1) delivering a symposium on women’s football! 💪💪#ECSS2024
