Gerontology Physiotherapy Level 1 - Part C
Tell me more
Gerontology Physiotherapy Level 1 aims to improve your knowledge and skills relevant to the physiotherapy assessment and treatment of common conditions of older people. It takes an in-depth look at the ageing process, chronic disease management, pharmacology and pain management, delirium, dementia and depression, falls and balance, strategies to optimise physical function and use of outcome measures.
Learners have two ways of undertaking Gerontology Physiotherapy Level 1:
• Blended: online self-paced (Part A) and attending a face-to-face classroom course (Parts B & C)
or
• Wholly virtual: online self-paced (Parts A & B) and live virtual session (Part C)
Important note: if you have completed or wish to undertake the face-to-face classroom course, you are not required to complete the online Part B or Part C.
Part C - live virtual session
This live virtual session is Part C of the virtual delivery option for the Gerontology Physiotherapy Level 1 course. You must attend a live virtual session in order to complete the Gerontology Physiotherapy Level 1 course.

The cross bracing protocol (CBP) physiotherapy training workshop
Tell me more
The Cross Bracing Protocol (CBP) training workshop for physiotherapists is the only course written and presented by the authors of the published Cross Bracing Protocol case series and RCT study. The CBP course comprises three comprehensive online theory modules as a prerequisite to the 1.5-day practical workshop.
Dr Tom Cross, Sports Medicine Physician, is the co-developer of the Cross Bracing Protocol together with Mr Mervyn Cross, Orthopaedic Surgeon. Tom will outline the evolution of the CBP and current CBP protocols, ACL injury classification and ACL healing spectrum, CBP inclusion and exclusion criteria and other medical considerations of the CBP relevant to physiotherapists.
Associate Professor Stephanie Filbay, NHMRC and Principal Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, has published extensively in the field of ACL injury management and outcomes. She is leading the randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing Cross Bracing to ACL Surgery. She will summarise the research evidence in current ACL injury management and the ACL healing evidence, in addition to presenting the results of the CBP published case series and the outcomes of the shared decision making research in ACL injury management in Australia.
Associate Professor Jane Rooney, Specialist Sports Physiotherapist* (subspecialty knee) has extensive clinical experience in ACL injury post operative, non-operative and long-term rehabilitation programs. She is a co-author of the ACL shared decisionmaking research and the rehab protocol designer for the forthcoming RCT. Jane has co-managed CBP patients since 2020 with Dr Tom Cross.
The online learning module will summarise ACL injury consequences, impairment assessment, shared decision making in clinical practice and rehabilitation phases including return to sport and ACL prevention programs. The practical workshop written by Associate Professor Rooney will cover acute knee assessment, practical shared decision making in ACL injury management, brace fitting, rehabilitation through the bracing protocol stages in addition to contemporary evidence based ACL rehabilitation from brace removal through to return to sport.

Functional assessment and treatment of the lumbar spine and pelvis with Trish Wisbey-Roth
Practical Skills you can apply immediately!
You've probably seen many clients with pelvic and low back pain. Wouldn't you love to understand the 3D biomechanics of this region, and how to effectively make a differential diagnosis? This course will show you how. You'll also cover treatment plans over the short, medium and long-term.
Join us for a 2-day course including 3D anatomy, biomechanics and assessment of the pelvic complex and lumbar spine. The two days will be filled with takeaway concepts and techniques to use immediately. This course offers the busy clinician the opportunity to see the latest in effective manual therapy and taping treatment for SIJ and lumbar spine problems specific for dysfunction, with a clear differential diagnostic algorithm. Learn to optimise 3D biomechanics of the pelvis and lumbar spine through effective differential diagnosis, assessment and management, taught by Trish Wisbey-Roth

Occupational Health Physiotherapy Level 1
The Occupational Health Physiotherapy Level 1 course will broaden your scope of practice through delivering the latest knowledge and skills to match contemporary practice and its evidence-based underpinnings. Participants will be challenged to consider the foundations on which their decisions are made in order to future-proof their Occupational Health practice.
The course will deepen your understanding of the importance of workplace safety systems, leadership, the climate of safety and the risk management process as applied to health promotion, and injury prevention. Key population health issues in most workplaces including chronic diseases in addition to mental health disorders and musculoskeletal disorders are outlined. Practical skills are cemented through in-depth musculoskeletal tasks risk assessments, good work design ergonomic scenarios, and office equipment evaluation and application.
Social culture, inclusivity, and workplace leadership are incorporated so participants can implement effective and equitable occupational health workplace strategies and, through nuanced communication skills, are able to lead positive workplace conversations and manage difficult conversations with stakeholders.
Optimal Return to Work pathways and barriers are identified and workshopped for common and complex scenarios using the most recent evidence-based screening, assessment and communication tools and processes.
The principles of good work design are integrated with the physical, cognitive and organisational components of human factors/ergonomics into office and onsite ergonomic scenario analysis.
A range of training formats including video analysis, group discussions, ergonomic equipment demonstration and practical sessions throughout the two days course strengthens occupational health skills across the seven modules – Legislation, Risk Management, Systems of work, Leadership and Safety Climate and a Culture of Safety, Communication, Ergonomics, and Injury management.

Help i'm on call
1. Limited experience with critically ill/acute cardiorespiratory patients
2. Sole worker/lack of peer support and supervision during after hours (night time/weekend) on-call shifts
3. Complexity of patient presentation/ high level clinical reasoning required
4. Likelihood of adverse events during patient treatment
5. Limited experience of communication with other health disciplines such as doctors and nurses during fast paced, emergency scenarios.
The aim is to increase physiotherapists' confidence and competence for emergency respiratory on-call physiotherapy services.
