The Bone and Joint Centre has begun a series of education events with an evening symposium on the shoulder. The symposium titled ‘Shoulder pain and the rotator cuff all you need to know’ was aimed at giving GP’s and physiotherapists a snap shot update of new developments and techniques for the assessment and management of the patient with impingement/rotator cuff disease. Hosted by Peter Brownson and Mat Smith with the support of senior Perform physiotherapist and shoulder expert Maryke Nielsen, the events have got off to a great start.

Those who attended were able to view demonstrations of clinical assessment, ultrasound and injection techniques as well as physiotherapy rehabilitation exercises, which was followed by a lively question and answer section.

The Bone and Joint Centre based at Spire Liverpool Hospital have a number of education events planned for the rest of 2013. If you would like more information about forthcoming event contact Natalie Wood at [email protected].
