Advancing Acute Care Through Point-of-Care Ultrasound, Innovation and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
Joint injection is a procedural skill, and meaningful procedural training requires more than watching a presentation.
For that reason, much of the course will take place in small-group practical stations, where delegates can repeatedly practise techniques with faculty supervision and feedback.
Dedicated simulation models provide an environment in which participants can become more familiar with anatomical landmarks, needle positioning and procedural technique before applying these principles in clinical practice.
The practical programme will explore commonly encountered procedures involving several important anatomical areas, including the:
Sessions will incorporate surface anatomy, positioning, identification of appropriate landmarks, equipment selection and practical injection technique.
Technical ability is only one component of safe joint injection practice.
The programme will therefore address appropriate patient selection, indications and contraindications, consent, preparation, aseptic technique, medication considerations, possible complications and appropriate aftercare.
Clinical scenarios will encourage delegates to answer the key question that comes before the procedure itself:
Should this joint be injected in the first place?
The course has been developed with GPs and GP trainees particularly in mind, providing practical training relevant to common musculoskeletal presentations encountered in primary care.
It may also be useful for clinicians working in Acute and Internal Medicine, Rheumatology, Emergency Medicine, Sports and Musculoskeletal Medicine and other specialties who wish to develop or refresh their joint injection skills.
Specialist rheumatology input has been incorporated into the programme so that procedural training remains closely connected to appropriate clinical reasoning.
The aim is therefore broader than teaching where to place a needle. Delegates should understand which patients may benefit, when injection may be inappropriate, how to approach the procedure safely and what follow-up or aftercare may be needed.
State-of-the-art joint injection simulation models will provide delegates with substantial opportunities for supervised practice throughout the day.
Faculty feedback will focus on positioning, procedural approach and technique, allowing participants to refine their skills as they progress through the course.
Focused teaching. State-of-the-art simulation models. Rheumatology supervision. Extensive hands-on practice.
