Enjoyed presenting Prepare for the PSA at @MedEdLeadersUK Conference in Oxford today. So many great presentations and lots to take away!

Congrats @DrBradNeal on your #BestPaper win @iPFRN Conference To read Dr Neal's paper on treatments for #PatellofemoralPain go here 👉jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jo… OR check out the fantastic list of #IPFRN23 abstracts in the brand NEW #JOSPTOpen here 👉 jospt.org/toc/jospt-open…

A pleasure to have been given the opportunity and absolutely delighted to win. Thank you to the @iPFRN board and to colleagues @iamclarebart, @DrChrisBarton, @DrDylanM, & @simonthephysio.

Our new paper in @FrontSportsAL is now available. We observed how a 2-week neuromuscular exercise programme affected biopsychosocial measures in people with PFP. Unlike what has been observed in healthy populations, little changed in this cohort. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

It was a pleasure to present our best practice guide for PFP in the poster competition at #Sportskongres2023 tonight; thanks to all my great colleagues and to @PPEFcharity for funding our work.

IMO the most important publication this year on Patellofemoral pain. Patient experience on Diagnosis & management. Diagnosis is essential and validates their pain. Management needs to be tailored. Education empowers patients. Thank you @DrBradNeal @simonthephysio @DrDylanM

We need you for a focus group to help shape our PFP best practice guide. Do you have 5 years clinical experience & an involvement in academia/research related to PFP? Can you join us on 9/1/23 @ 5-7pm GMT or 18/1/23 @ 9:30-11:30am GMT? Please email b.neal@essex.ac.uk if so!

Excited to run Prepare for the PSA again in January! A free virtual course for final year medical students with integrated finals revision. Find us on Facebook for more info!

Here it is: the biggest systematic review with meta-analysis I've ever undertaken, immensely proud to see this out there. Huge thanks to our group of co-authors and to @clare_ardern & the @JOSPT team for an excellent peer review experience. doi.org/10.2519/jospt.…
