All #FCP s, agreed national guidelines during lockdown are to provide F2F in line with GP practice. Just virtual increases risk of missing red flags/early pathology, increases investigations and on referal. GPs open as usual, so are we Andrew Bennett Larry Koyama

Important topic especially for those Primary Care Clinicians.

Anecdotally we are seeing an increase in serious pathology coming through MSK services NOT just spinal but sarcomas , MND , need to be really aware of serious pathology as a differential diagnosis @mercephysio Sue Greenhalgh OBE MACP

Really important to be able to identify potential serious pathology and get them seen urgently.

Physios and HCA needed urgently for nightingale London to start asap. Accommodation provided. 7.5 hour shifts. Please inbox me name/numbers if interested. Please share this post far and wide!!

Wow!! 💍

Couldn’t agree more. It’s so important how you deliver findings.

🧐 JUST PUBLISHED!! Our study sciencedirect.com/science/articl… shows that mobility mediates the long-term relationship between pain and disability and QOL outcomes after spine surgery. Get your patients moving.👍 The "boss" first author Alessandra Narciso Garcia Trepte Oren Gottfried, MD @APTAtweets Duke MSK

I passed stage 1 of the FCP taught route at Plymouth Uni and am so pleased with my results. To do this whilst on mat leave and running after 2 little boys full time has been challenging. Time for a glass to celebrate! Liz Oxley thank you for being a wonderful mentor.

I went to Uni with Catrin, Nathan’s wife. This is beyond sad after an already terrible year for them. Following a triathlon accident he is now left with a major spinal injury and brain injury. Please read their story and donate if you can. gofundme.com/f/nathan-ford?…

The list is endless of why I love what I do, the care and empathy that is required, the problem solving, my wonderful colleagues and the rewards of knowing you are helping someone. Karen Wilson @DebbieDillonPH [email protected]

This will be of interest to #fcp and #APP - discussions around tramadol- I can think of a patient I saw this week who was on long term tramadol for persistent non-specific mechanical low back pain. Shared decision making plan ➡️pain management service. #nmp

Stage 2 of the FCP Taught route passed! So pleased to have completed whilst looking after 2 very young little boys. Thank you to all those that helped, a particular mention to Liz Oxley for being a stand out mentor and Sue May at Plymouth Uni who led the modules.

Nice little postal delivery today SomersetFT MSk Physio Team
