Really looking forward to hearing Vasileios (Vas) Georgopoulos @vasilis_georgop speak at the upcoming MACP Study Day 2026.
His presentation — “Exploring the delivery of MSK treatment to unique, under-represented, and under-served populations” — tackles one of the most important conversations currently facing modern MSK practice.
As physiotherapy continues to evolve, questions around equity of access, inclusivity, cultural awareness, and how we better reach underserved communities are becoming central to delivering high-quality patient care.
This is exactly the kind of contemporary, thought-provoking discussion MACP is passionate about supporting.
With only a couple of weeks to go, there are still limited places available — including heavily reduced student tickets as part of MACP’s commitment to supporting the next generation of clinicians.
Looking forward to a fantastic day of discussion, challenge, and shared learning.

Following two excellent recent webinars, we’re now just a couple of weeks away from the upcoming MACP Study Day 2026.
The recent sessions have highlighted exactly what MACP stands for — clinical curiosity, advanced clinical reasoning, reflective discussion, and a commitment to advancing MSK practice together.
If you’ve been considering attending, there are still some last-minute places available.
As part of MACP’s ongoing commitment to supporting the next generation of MSK clinicians, we’ve worked hard to keep student pricing as accessible as possible:
• £50 MACP members
• £75 non-members
• £37.50 students
For students and early-career clinicians, this is a fantastic opportunity to access expert speakers, contemporary MSK discussion, networking, and 7 hours of CPD at a genuinely affordable price point.
We’re looking forward to welcoming all colleagues from across the MSK community for what promises to be a fantastic day.

AI is already changing MSK practice — but what does that actually mean for clinicians, services and patients?
At this year’s MACP Study Day, our panel discussion will explore:
Digital & AI innovation in MSK practice
With contributions from:
Ash James
Exploring AI in physiotherapy
Chris Efford
What’s here now vs. what’s coming next
Jayne Davies
Implementing AI in MSK services: lessons learned, risks, governance and adoption
This session will move beyond the hype and focus on the real questions for MSK practice:
How is AI already being used?
What opportunities are emerging?
What are the risks?
How do we implement innovation safely and meaningfully?
What does good governance look like?
MSK Practice at a Crossroads feels particularly relevant when considering digital transformation and AI. This is an opportunity to hear from people actively engaging with these changes and to think critically about what comes next for our profession.
