How much CPD should you do to maintain injection skills?

There isn’t a specified number of CPD hours for injection therapy… but professional standards require clinicians to maintain their knowledge, skills and competence. So what does this look like?

For us, it means continuing to develop our knowledge, reflect on our practice and keep our skills up to date, delivering safe and effective injections.

That’s why we started MSK Injections.

Our Injection Skills Kickstarter course is designed for injection-qualified GPs, FCPs and physiotherapists. This will combine teaching, demonstrations, practical learning and time for discussion. Book in online via the link in our bio!!

Whether it’s been a while since you passed your course and you haven’t had time to refresh your skills, or it’s time to complete some CPD as an extended scope practitioner - our experienced injection therapists combine practical, lectures and clinical discussion to make you feel more confident.

The Injection Kickstarter Course is a 2-day CPD course designed for clinicians who already have an injection qualification and want to develop, refine and consolidate their injection skills.

This is led by Paul Hattam and Johnny Cassidy, who bring together practical workshops, lectures, clinical discussion and personal feedback.

With a maximum of 10 clinicians, there’s plenty of opportunity to ask questions, develop professional networks, practice skills and discuss your clinical reasoning.

Hi folks, here is our next injection kickstarter. These are always great days!
Perhaps you are returning to injection therapy? Perhaps there are a couple of techniques you haven't quite 'nailed' yet? Or perhaps you just want to ensure your injection skills are up to scratch?

Join us on our Sheffield base in October on 16-17 October for a day and a half of brushing up on your injection skills. Friday evening in the pub is optional but that's where the best discussions happen!

Another interesting injection clinic this week:
- a hikers bilateral HA knees
- a butchers subacromial bursa (cortisone) and ACJ (cortisone)
- an arthritic shoulder HA injection + cortisone to SAB
- SAB cortisone injection for a climber
- A cricketers calcific supraspinatus tendinopathy (initially a SAB injection)
- a very tricky trigger thumb

We almost always operate our injection clinics with 2 clinicians. This way one clinician can focus solely on the patient and the other can assist. It is so helpful to have an extra pair of hands - perhaps to offer some manual therapy to help disperse the injectate or if something goes wrong like a vasovagal episode. I was definitely grateful for a second pair of hands for the trigger thumb injection (or perhaps we need a hockey stick probe!)

Retrocalacneal bursas are bit like buses 🚌! We haven't injected one in ages and have had 3 in the last 2 weeks.

It is important to note that we didn't jump straight to injection with these patients, they all had symptom management and optimal loading rehab before considering an injection. Unfortunately their pain was the limiting factor to their rehab and recovery.

I'd be interested on peoples thoughts. Do you put the patients in a boot or not following a retrocalcaneal injection?

Paul and Johnny had a great time in Leamington Spa yesterday with an enthusiastic group of injection therapists from the SWIMS team. We discussed the latest evidence around local anaesthetics, rehab & optimising outcomes post injection and practices lots of injection techniques around the wrist, hand, ankle and foot. Thanks for having us for your CPD day.
