Diagnostic imaging for primary care MSK clinicians and multidisciplinary management

Please note that bookings for the 1st Session will close on 15th June

This series of webinars will explore common, and not so common, conditions seen in primary care by musculoskeletal clinicians such as chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopaths. Using plain film x-ray and MRI, you will learn about these conditions, their clinical presentation, diagnosis, imaging characteristics and appropriate management, including appropriate referral routes and evidence based manual therapy and rehabilitation approaches. At the end of this series you will have benefited from an interprofessional approach to the care of these conditions and have a greater appreciation of when to refer patients for imaging, which type of imaging is best suited, image interpretation and management options.
