Closing plenary:Leading with skilled hands & purpose.Have been known to question the practice of elite sports care(see tweet 21/10/18),but tbh Phil Glasgow expressed a dialogical lead'ship approach that is about purpose, not plaudits & that's gold medal stuff for me! BW all 👍

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

Improving care for FM:Irene Tracey & Oxford team.Big emphasis on biomarkers/brain scans & sub-classifying FM.Difficult to see how & when this will translate to non-specialist centres.Has reinforced long-term concern that we continue to be limited & avoiding EBP with this group

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

'Developing disruptive leader' talk y'day.Missed theory and CEO lens from Beswetherick/Doyle,& although Ramaswamy/Skelton have tirelessly transformed PD & falls (big respect),imo it was an indulgence from established researchers & hard to relate https://t.co/OMlAuiYGpg

My vPUk day 2 'take homes' to follow. Less tech issues for me today, but more real life issues! Stay at home Saturday conferences are a struggle with a young family. I couldn't resist the several hours of football and boardgames that were on the family 'events programme'?!

2...being the main measures, not pain intensity/cure. Gail Sowden (PT) reminded us that 'experiential avoidance' can see as many people overdo as under and 'psychological flexibility' underpins ACT https://t.co/NZU8laKAna. Clin Psych joke to finish..

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

1.Pain psych for non-psych'gists and ACT talk. Couldn't believe how brazen my avatar was just walking in late!😆K Vowles (Prof Clin Psych)made it clear,living effectively with pain should be the goal, with increasing valued activity & reducing the 'struggle with pain'...

Opening plenary/lecture:'Past, Present & Future: celebrating 100'. Stand out 4 me in an otherwise bland start, Alex Mackenzie (CSP) highlighting long overdue wake up call many of us are having to systemic racism, white privilege and the call for anti-racism.Reading suggestions ⬇️

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

On re-reading the last tweet I failed to highlight the contribution of our amazing A&C and physio assistant colleagues. My bad...and an example of how brutal social media is to say what you want, well! Still learning!

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

...And did I mention it was award winning for the Leading for Change theme?! Big thanks and congrats to the whole team: Jess Grenfell, Jon Morgan @PublicHealthJM , Mark Knight-Davis, Emma Jones, & Rob Letchford, clinicians, managers and service users in ABUHB

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

I am sure I am not alone in the teething issues of vPUK! Eventually able to attend the poster booth (Hall 1 F27) and speak to some people about it! Here it is...SDM knowledge and skills training and embedding in MSK physiotherapy @ABUHBPT https://t.co/6SW7tqjYE4

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

First impressions of vPUK 20... Well my avatar has grown a better #Movember tache than his human counterpart!!

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

It has been a while...but as I am attending vPUK #Physio20 , representing @ABUHBPT & sharing a poster on SDM training (more on that later), I thought it timely to dust off my account. I will aim to represent some of the events and my thoughts as I come across them. Here goes...!

Perfectly said @redclareconnor. It has been a total honour to work closely with Rob this last year. I am confident we will continue to challenge, inspire, share and collaborate on each others work for the benefit of NHS Wales and our great profession. Exciting times!

[Clare Connor 💙💙💙🇺🇦 @redclareconnor]

Farewell to our brilliant Dr Rob Letchford moving from @ABUHBPT to @CV_UHB for a consultant role that he is so ready for. Look after him Cardiff! We’re gonna miss you Rob! @physioPACE

[Sam Haworth-Booth @SamHBooth]

@physioPACE interesting...

3:Helped by @helenbevan talk, together with colleagues, I will endeavour to challenge old power & a permission culture to be a collective agency for change. Shout out @aledfalv for the good work he's doing in Powys & putting up with me for 2 days! All twitter'd out - no promises!

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

Day 2 @physio18 done! Reflection 1:Enjoyed clinical context on headaches, plantar heel pain, pragmatic use of orthotics and exercise specificity for neck pain. Balanced approach with emphasis on 'good' physio being about understanding the person and the individuality of care

[Martin Dando @physioPACE]

2:Are well intended medical teams in elite sport making a rod for everyone's back? Does early & unnecessary investigations & over treatment for vulnerable athletes by paternalistic clinicians not sound familiar? Does a society that aspires to pro sport then expect the same?
