Manchester Metropolitan University have been funded by the CSP to investigate the experiences of physiotherapists in relation to litigation. This is a 3 phase study (phases 1 & 2 already completed) and MMU are now starting phase 3 which is a UK survey of physiotherapists (CES & litigation).  They want to survey all physiotherapists from across the UK, from all specialities and all grades.

Please read full article HERE for further information and link to the survey.

This survey is completely anonymous and should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.  You do not need to have any experience of litigation to take part.

We're delighted to announce that our brand new course, Vehicle Ergonomics, is now available online.

This 2–3 hour independent online learning course includes provision of a new electronic Vehicle Assessment Form to assist you when undertaking these assessments.  This is a highly practical course with plenty of top tips on how best undertake these assessments based on a systems approach to ergonomics.
