@jonny_trumble @jackconran8 I have often factored in overall trajectory of HbA1c readings (easy in primary care!) to reflect diabetic control and self Mx, however as HbA1c provides an average measure of glucose over the last 2-3 months do you think this has a role?!

Please #share and use the toolkit in primary care

'Patients describe having to ‘fight’ to be referred to a specialist and that they suffer psychologically (that is, desperation, depression, dejection, and distress) as a consequence of diagnostic delay.' https://t.co/cieVipPrWz

If any of my physiotherapy colleagues treating patella tendinopathy can please spare a few minutes to complete this survey I would be very grateful https://t.co/NPazy5q6rf

[Sam Bastock @bastock_11]

@PhysioArmstrong Happy to DM about this, I’ve just started looking at this. However lots of variables and subj!

[Sam Bastock @bastock_11]

@DrMarwanAl_D Interestingly locally this is not offered (likely for the reasons suggested) but it is included on NHS shared decision making tool…

[Sam Bastock @bastock_11]

@DrMarwanAl_D @ThomasRoth91 I recognise the hip is the most common joint for AVN (and the same risks factors apply!) but are you aware of any data related to shoulders and post CSI?! Or anecdotally do you see much of this? 🙏

[Sam Bastock @bastock_11]

@thefizzeo @CSP_FCP Also something to be said of quantity doesn’t always equal quality - I’m sure if all 3 professions had high patients per hour ratios the outcomes; patient contacts per condition, patient satisfaction and not to mention clinical decision making are negatively impacted

[Sam Bastock @bastock_11]

@thefizzeo @CSP_FCP Interesting thoughts - 1. you’d hope the value of having clinicians with different skills sets and pathway knowledge not only for the GPs / ANPs but also the patients themselves would be taken into consideration and not purely a bum of seats game…

FROZEN SHOULDER INJECTIONS 💉

🎯 Optimal Rx may inc 4 site & 3 site inj
🎯 40mg triamcinolone or methylprednisolone optimal
🎯 Image guidance did not lead to sig better outcomes.
🎯 Rotator interval inj, distension, and IA inj were equally effective

@deejwilson @AmandaHensman @neiljlangridge Yes unless any modules are mapped / have a placement based component in primary care

[Sam Bastock @bastock_11]

@NiharPalanPT @deejwilson @Physiozensam @ECarterDCHS @amadamson @FCPphysio @KayMSK_ I think 20 mins is very tricky (if not impossible) for the full ticket and injection especially if you haven’t seen the patient previously. As a trainee / soon to be new injector 20 mins 😥 would be an additional pressure 🕰️… Our appts our 20/30 min dependent on experience 7/8a

[Sam Bastock @bastock_11]

@marcusbatemanPT Band dependent 7/8a reflecting roadmap/AP competencies = 30/20 with admin factored in, 12/16 NPs per clinic

NHS physiotherapy staff in England are taking part in strike action over pay for the first time in our history.

Physiotherapy staff have been left with no choice but to strike.
