@coasthealthhub @DrJN_SportsMed Most of the knee special tests will cause pain even in asymp pts. If a pt has a painful knee then the special tests will be more painful. Subjective, mech, symptoms location and type of pain alongside mri often all that’s needed.

@DrJN_SportsMed A good detailed history and understanding of mechanism helps massively

@AdamMeakins I’m surprised the HCPC haven’t suggested you do a ‘teams meeting’ for the hearing whilst you are on the operating table.

@BillingMartin @thefizzeo There will be significant variation across the whole profession. For me it’s the speed of progression to achieve so called advanced practice level.

@PhysioDOH @thecsp 🤣 never in the memory of man will @thecsp step up like that mate

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@fredperry hi I’m just wondering when I will get my refund. Yodel returned my order to you on 23/12/25

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@AdamMeakins That’s disgusting!

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@BillingMartin @physiojack @adamdobson123 @thecsp All new grad physios should start at band 6. There are now band 5 clerical roles in the nhs. You are wasting your breath if you think @thecsp will either do or will be able to do anything. Like I said ages ago physio is poorly paid and we don’t have any power to change it.

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@BillingMartin Bang on. I know salary shouldn’t be a driver but people can get more money doing lesser jobs. Also the nhs pension age is another carrot that has lost its appeal

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@PhysioDOH @thecsp It’s another example of @thecsp not being as strong as other unions. Unfortunately their lack of power means they have little voice and weighting to many issues. #timetoleave.

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@iangattphysio @Back_in_Action @gbboxing @UKSportsInst Another laughable salary for an elite sporting physio job. Mid band 6! #fairpayforsportphysio

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@BillingMartin @thecsp Yeah been here many times at numerous trusts around Lancashire that I have worked. When I graduated it was similar, minimal jobs for new graduates.

I question how loud that voice is.

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@AdamMeakins @BillingMartin We have students on a regular basis and I find myself encouraging them to look at working in Australia or New Zealand. Under valued and under paid profession in the UK

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@BillingMartin Make it worse and Google it

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@BillingMartin Keep paying £35 a month to the CSP for a magazine that goes straight into the bin

[Mark Roberts @keenmark13]

@BillingMartin Just fu*k it off mate. Not worth the hassle
