This longstanding and popular course has been substantially revised to make it more accessible to busy physios. There is now a comprehensive online resource in place of the previous Part 1 of the course, with approximately 20 hours of CPD, as well as downloadable resources, links to further information and a discussion board to interact with tutors or other participants. Part 2 remains face to face and is packed with practical workshop style teaching, which brings the knowledge from Part 1 to life. There is opportunity for reflection and self-directed learning in both parts of the course, as well as opportunities to discuss individual queries with experienced tutors, who have worked with a wide range of different sports. If you would like to make your rehabilitation programmes more effective, this is the course for you.
