To successfully complete the course and receive accreditation for it, you need to pass an end-of-course MCQ examination and then complete a series of (a minimum of 10) mentored injections. This is not part of the course and must be arranged locally by yourself.Entry Criteria for PodiatristsThis course is open to members of the Royal College of Podiatry (RCoP) who are current HCPC registered Podiatrists and who hold current certification in local anaesthesia (POM-A).Programme Outline· Introduction to the course· Anatomy - spotter· Evidence-based practice for injection therapy· Legislation/medical ethics· The pharmacology and physiology of steroids· Injection techniques and regimen· Surface anatomy· Other injectables· Outcomes/complications· Logbook/mentoringExam: 30-minute paperAimsTo introduce clinicians to the advanced skills of injection therapyTo instruct in the legal and ethical considerations of injection therapyTo teach the principles of pharmacology of the drugs usedTo review functional and surface anatomyTo review the aetiology and pathology of common foot problemsTo advise on the indications/contraindications of injection therapyLearning outcomesBy the end of the course, the student will be able to:Demonstrate advanced clinical reasoningDiscuss the advantages and disadvantages of injection therapyCritically evaluate injection therapy as an adjunct to other treatmentsCompetently select patients suitable for injection therapyCommunicate effectively with colleagues regarding treatment choiceDiscuss good aseptic techniques in the application of the treatmentRecognise the warning signs of adverse drug reactionsInitiate appropriate management for adverse reactionsDefine all aspects of post-injection aftercare and rehabilitationPre-Course ReadingA full course pack will be issued (via DropBox) covering the main areas of study. The key document is the CPD article by Dr Kilmartin, with additional papers for further reading. A sound understanding of anatomy is key to successful injection therapy, and I strongly recommend that you refresh your knowledge. Day one, we have an anatomy spotter. Day two: we have a heel pain spotter. Look out for my YouTube channel (search ‘YouTube/PodSurgeon’) for injection therapy videos.Eventbrite SHOULD send me your email details so that I can add you to the DropBox group – but email me if you don’t hear with 48 hours.Post-Course SupervisionSome delegates will be taking the two-day course as part of their overall CPD without wanting to undertake mentorship in injection techniques. For those delegates who are planning to incorporate injection therapy into their clinical practice, before the period of mentored supervision starts, the delegate must also be able to produce:· Current certificate in basic life support (BLS)· Current certificate of vaccination for hepatitis BPrior to undertaking supervised injections, please supply written confirmation of an appropriate mentor/s who has/have agreed to supervise your clinical practice for a minimum of 10 injections. The mentor may be any physician or clinician who regularly administers injection therapy for foot pathology. Once all 10 injections have been administered, the supervision details should be sent to me. Subject to RCoP confirmation, delegates will receive accreditation and annotation on completion of the course.Terms & Conditions1.
