PHYSIOTHERAPY MASTERCLASS ON THE EQUINE HEAD AND NECK Mini Module

Online Mini Module – Physiotherapy Masterclass for Qualified Physiotherapists and Veterinary Surgeons on the Equine Head and Neck

Following on from the success of our first collaborative CPD Mini Module on the Equine Back and Pelvis, this February we will be offering our second instalment, a Physiotherapy Masterclass on the Equine Head and Neck.

Course Description

This CPD is aimed at both qualified Physiotherapists* and Equine Clinicians looking to refresh their knowledge of the assessment and treatment options available for temporomandibular joint and hyoid regions of the head, and cervical vertebral conditions (excluding the spinal cord) of the neck. The weeks will focus on revising relevant anatomy and pathology before reviewing current approaches to assessment and treatment from both professional perspectives. The over-arching theme will again be one of professional collaboration and maximising the ‘team approach’ for successful clinical outcomes.

This fully online CPD mini-module is tailored for professionals wishing to enhance, develop and consolidate their clinical knowledge and understanding in this area. 25 hours of CPD will be delivered across 4 weeks in a fun and interactive way, with online lectures, discussion boards, weekly MCQ tests and 2 live case-based Teams meetings available to support your learning. Participants will gain access to the University of Liverpool online Library for the remainder of the current academic year, allowing easy access to evidence-based research in their chosen clinical fields.
