MACP Study Day 2026 | Birmingham | Saturday 6th June

Outstanding speakers. Highly relevant MSK topics. Exceptional value.

For just £50 for MACP members and £75 for non-members, this year’s MACP Study Day offers a full day of learning, discussion and professional reflection with three outstanding speakers:

Chris Mercer @Mercephysio
“Managing clinical complexity in MSK practice”

Ian Horsley
“Current concepts in rehabilitation of the shoulder – it’s definitely NOT a no brainer”

Roger Kerry @RogerKerry1
“Physiotherapy at the Crossroads”

MSK practice is changing. Complexity is increasing. Clinical reasoning, rehabilitation decision-making and professional identity have never felt more important.

This is a chance to step away from the day-to-day, reconnect with the bigger picture of MSK practice, and hear from clinicians and thinkers who continue to shape the profession.

The MACP Study Day 2026 programme is here.

Saturday 6th June 2026 | Birmingham

A full day of MSK learning, discussion and professional reflection for:

£50 MACP members
£75 non-members

For a full-day professional MSK event, this represents exceptional value.

This year’s theme — MSK Practice at a Crossroads — feels highly relevant to current practice, with the programme exploring clinical complexity, digital and AI innovation, rehabilitation decision-making, research, leadership, consultant capability, micro-credentials, professional identity and the future direction of physiotherapy.

If you work in MSK, this is a great opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and engage with some of the bigger clinical and professional questions shaping our field.

Programme attached.

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.
