@arcole86 - can you kindly follow me so I can drop you a message re: @Aspetar clinic. Thanks

Hey X/Twitter physio folk, does anyone work or know any physios at Leicester Royal Infirmary or Leicester General? I’m looking to find work experience for my 15 year old cousin who lives in this area. Thanks 😃

A global crowdsourcing platform tried different ways to motivate people to contribute their ideas. Which do you think was more effective?
A) Offering financial payments & other "high-powered" incentives
or
B) Giving people the opportunity to connect with others in service-orientated activities, have fun & build a sense of belonging
The answer: B) won by a mile. A) showed promise at first but was not sustainable. ‘Intrinsic joy’ sparks ideas better than cash incentives:

@ThomasRoth91 @DrJN_SportsMed How did you treat it @DrJN_SportsMed ?

[Phil Barber @PhilCharlesBar]

@timcolledge05 @physiojack I’m keen

[Phil Barber @PhilCharlesBar]

@paulawoods5 Thanks and great work again. It may be worth holding on pushing it out again until updated 👍

[Phil Barber @PhilCharlesBar]

Thanks @paulawoods5 4 sharing this. It is an excellent resource, but if sharing widely is it worth stipulating in the document that clinicians must check local pathways? For example example, our regional MSCC pathway is different to yours (we use oncology) to avoid confusion? 🙏🏻

The data doesn't agree. Pain distribution is not a reliable predictor of the involved level responsible for radicular pain.

88% of trials had a high risk of bias and the evidence was still only of low certainty for use of discectomy versus non-surgical treatments!

I have done my workings on the NHS pay deal and I am completely baffled that any union would accept what is on offer. A thread…

[Phil Barber @PhilCharlesBar]

@RCRadiologists @NatSpineNetwork @NHSGIRFT Are there any plans for the @RCRadiologists to work with DGHs who don’t have 24/7 MRI access to provide it?

[Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) @NHSGIRFT]

We’re delighted to launch a new pathway today to support clinicians in diagnosing and treating suspected Cauda Equina Syndrome (#CES).

Helping #NHS teams deliver best practice for #CES referrals across all stages of the pathway.

We need you for a focus group to help shape our PFP best practice guide.

Do you have 5 years clinical experience & an involvement in academia/research related to PFP?

Can you join us on 9/1/23 @ 5-7pm GMT or 18/1/23 @ 9:30-11:30am GMT?

Please email [email protected] if so!

[Phil Barber @PhilCharlesBar]

@NatSpineNetwork Is the CES pathway going to be the GIRFT final version?

[Brad Neal @DrBradNeal]

Thanks @JOSPT for highlighting our recent work.

Watch this space for a synthesis of these data with qual findings from patients & clinicians designed to define the current approach to best practice.

Best practice for PFP, a synthesis of:

1. Systematic review with meta-analysis: https://t.co/ndPDNI1jq9

2. The patient voice: https://t.co/vndxSHiQhs

3. Expert clinical reasoning: https://t.co/XsBCRqSg23

Watch out for paper four in the (hopefully) near future!

[Brad Neal @DrBradNeal]

What did we find? A 🧵

Our systematic search identified 170 RCTs exploring interventions for people with PFP, and we retained 65 high quality trials for data synthesis.

We pooled data where appropriate, aiming to identify efficacious interventions
