This course is targeted at physiotherapists working within the cardiorespiratory field, wanting to further their knowledge and skills in the management of the critically ill patient, and builds on the content covered in the Cardiorespiratory Level 1 course. It is also designed as an opportunity to further build requisite skills, for those therapists working towards a level of skill and knowledge commensurate with an APA Titled Cardiorespiratory physiotherapist.

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.

Disability Physiotherapy Level 1 aims to provide physiotherapists with the knowledge, understanding and skills to provide high quality physiotherapy services to people with a range of disabilities. In doing so, the course introduces models of practice consistent with best practice in the disability field, and highlights both commonalities and differences with other areas of physiotherapy practice. It also covers issues relating to the funding landscape within the disability sector, with a focus on the NDIS, and applies this knowledge to practice.

Disability Physiotherapy Level 1 is delivered through a blended learning model comprising three parts:

Part A: is the first component of the Disability Physiotherapy Level 1 course and consists of seven OnDemand, self-paced modules
Part B: live virtual classroom is very interactive and will include lively discussions between learners and expert presenters, with the opportunity to ask questions along the way
Part C: is practical face-to-face classroom learning

This live virtual session is Part B of the Disability Physiotherapy Level 1 course. You must attend a live virtual session in order to complete the Disability Physiotherapy Level 1 course.

This highly practical course explores a systematic, evidence-based method for simplifying the management of a variety of common shoulder dysfunctions.

Participants are taught a comprehensive, yet simple to follow, (step-by-step) assessment, treatment and clinical reasoning pathway to assure successful outcomes.

Participants will be fine-tuning essential therapy skills with respect to meaningful objective assessments, effective hands-on treatment techniques and functional exercise prescription.

This course is for physiotherapists:

• looking for an evidence-based method for simplifying the management of what many therapists find to be a very complex region to assess and treat.
• who desire to fine-tune their skills with respect to meaningful objective assessments, hands-on treatment techniques and effective exercise prescription.
• who appreciate the value of developing a systematic (step-by-step) approach to managing a wide spectrum of shoulder dysfunctions.
