Sure you can

screen them,
triage them,
scan them,
inject them,
rub them,
reassure them,
tape them,
operate on them,
shockwave them,
advise them.

But eventually someone needs to rehabilitate them.

If it’s not going to be you then you’d better have a plan.

https://t.co/XUUVyMjolD FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Nominations close midnight tonight!

@TPMPodcast, @PhysioFirstC and @RehabMyPatient leading the charge to celebrate MSK Excellence!

P.s. Yes, it is clear that I can’t count and it’s 9 hours to go… soz. 😬

[Jack Chew @JackAChew]

@medicalmodelbri @RobYeldham @thecsp I know the doc and process well.

The whole thing is solely describing primary care MSK roles of various acronyms.

It has nothing to do with the contention around medical substitutions, yet you are posting it. Why?

[Jack Chew @JackAChew]

@medicalmodelbri @RobYeldham @thecsp Sure. In primary care MSK.
So what’s the contention in that context?

I’m trying to work out if you’re deliberately or accidentally conflating the roles you oppose and the roles you condone.

[Jack Chew @JackAChew]

@medicalmodelbri @RobYeldham @thecsp That table is from the MSK FCP Roadmap doc.

@medicalmodelbri @RobYeldham @thecsp Soz, *Reflecting

[Jack Chew @JackAChew]

@medicalmodelbri @RobYeldham @thecsp Cool. I was reflection on the wider debate that I’m trying to follow but don’t come here often these days.

We can exchange questions if you like, answer mine first if you don’t mind?

I’m responding to your tweet with the FCP table.

[Jack Chew @JackAChew]

So I hear. It’s interesting though to see where some want to draw the battle lines.

‘Undifferentiated patients’ are often described as if they’re the reserve of those with a medical degree. This is deeply naïve.

On the flip side, I’ve not heard of a case of a Noctor on a medical rota that I like the sound of.

Some terrible takes across the spectrum from what I can see at a glance.

Interesting thread by a Director of @thecsp
He says here “accreditation for higher levels of practice is not needed”
So those physio’s working as Dr substitutes in GP & ED etc under titles of ACP, FCP etc have no accreditation for “higher levels of practice”🙄
Do pts know that?

[Jack Chew @JackAChew]

Ha probably a list! 🕵️‍♂️

In a world that’s high on ‘identity’, any profession that struggles for one is going to be tempted to simply grasp for bits of others’.

However, some of the claims of ‘Dr replacement’ are hugely overplayed IMO. Especially in MSK which I’m most in touch with.

[Jack Chew @JackAChew]

@Pain_NeuRa Hi James, unsure if you still use this account but I’m struggling to get hold of you on email and WhatsApp. Could you DM me any updated details. Cheers

CAN WE MASTER DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND IN JUST 1 YEAR??

The Physio Matters Team are following 6 guinea pig clinicians and @JackAChew to find out if they can develop Diagnostic Ultrasound competency in just 1 year!

This is episode 2 where we ask the educators what the issues are with weekend courses and non-formalised training PLUS we check in with the clinicians/guinea pigs who are partaking in our experiment. We ask them how they have found learning the skill so far, the time commitment and whether they have found a mentor yet.

This is part 2 of 4 in this documentary, part 3 is planned for release around August 2026.

Further episodes will cover all aspects of Diagnostic Ultrasound so if you have questions fire them at us, lets build a conversation around the pros (and cons) of the explosion of accessibility!

If you want to explore Diagnostic Ultrasound Machines then discuss further with the documentary sponsor Physiquipe without whom we would not be making this projext happen! They will help you get the right tech!

Plus if you mention us when you get a machine, they will provide you with 3 YEARS of Physio Matters Premium Access!
