Ultrasound guided injection therapy is a rapidly developing skill that is becoming the standard for performing peripheral musculoskeletal injection techniques. There are very few training opportunities to develop these skills and achieve a competency certificate.
Whether working within the NHS, private practice or elite sports, if you'd like to add the skills of ultrasound guided injection therapy to your already established musculoskeletal assessment and treatment skills, the ultrasound guided injection therapy module is for you.
You'll be taught by full-time clinicians working in the NHS and private sectors, in both point of care and radiology roles with a vast experience of performing these peripheral musculoskeletal techniques to a range of intra-articular and peri-articular structures over many years. This course does not cover nerve blocks or spinal procedures.
You will learn the core skill of performing common peripheral musculoskeletal ultrasound guided injection techniques, including the skills to visualise the needle and guide it accurately towards a specific structure.
On successful completion of this course, you'll be able to demonstrate a competency based award in musculoskeletal ultrasound guided injection techniques to employers. This will enable you to work autonomously and perform these techniques.
Students must be working in one of the following areas: General practitioner; Rheumatologist; Orthopaedics; Sports and Exercise Medicine; Neurologist; Anaesthetist; Emergency medicine; Physiotherapist; Paramedic; Nurse; Orthotist; Physician Associate. Your full application should demonstrate that you have: PG Cert MSK Ultrasound or have a minimum 2 years evidenced musculoskeletal ultrasound experience and training; Satisfactory reference to support experience and skills in MSK ultrasound practice and training; Be HCPC, GMC or CORU registered; Parent profession as a medical or allied health professional should allow for ultrasound and injections within its professional practice; Formally identified and entered an agreement with a mentor and/or supervisor for the situational learning elements of the module; Are practising in a role, or imminently looking to move into a role, in which the use of injection-therapy skills have been identified as an integral component of practice.
