This course will examine osteoarthritis, the signs and symptoms of the osteoarthritic knee and the degenerate meniscus, as well as discussing the long term effects of ACL reconstruction.

It will look at intervention strategies that the physiotherapist can use and will demonstrate the effectiveness of these strategies from evidence in the literature. It will provide simple strategies for patient self-management to help improve function and quality of life for the older knee, minimise painful recurrences and avoid surgery where possible.

This course offers both theory and practical components, exploring recent studies in order to give a greater insight into treating the older knee. Participants will also gain pain management strategies for post knee arthroplasties to assist rehabilitation.

People who are diagnosed with ataxia present with a diverse set of symptoms that require unique symptom-specific assessment and treatment selection and execution. University teaching touches only briefly on this population hence physiotherapists are often ill-equipped to confidently manage this patient group.

The aim of this course is to provide and improve the knowledge and capacity of physiotherapists to assess and treat people with ataxia across the spectrum of models of care.

During this course participants will be expected to undertake / demonstrate application of assessment and treatment skills for people with ataxia via peer and patient interaction sessions.

This course will provide participants with the necessary knowledge and practical skills to successfully diagnose and treat sporting injuries of the hand, wrist and elbow. Practical components will include throwing analysis, elbow and wrist rehabilitation strategies as well as splinting techniques for the hand and fingers.

Hormonal transitions can present as complex presentations from the age of 35+ onwards. This course will help physiotherapists decode not only the multitude of musculoskeletal effects but the extensive systemic signs of perimenopause and post menopause.

This course will arm the clinician with practical, evidence-based tools to confidently support females approaching perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, which can manifest from 35 years of age.
