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.

Professional Networks Funding (Round 2) Oct - Nov 2021
From the CSP Professional Networks office:
From feedback in April both internally and externally, the process for submitting in the second round remains the same as April this year. A short pre-recorded video will therefore be required and this replaces the 1000 word written application that had been requested in previous years. We have used a similar format for other types of submission in the CSP, and feel this would allow PN’s to not only explain the project in more detail, but also to get across more information than 1000 word limit that was previously in place. The guidance document has also been reviewed again, and we hope to have added more detail with regards to what we are looking for, in terms of the scoring of the projects in order to offer out funding.

This second webinar presented by ACPOHE on this topic will consider the reality of using the 'Health and Work Report' in FCP practice, as a tool to support people at or absent from work.
Cameron Black is currently completing a Professional Doctorate. The Thesis is focussed on FCPs and their ability to take on fitness for work and sickness absence certification roles. He is also involved in a national evaluation of FCP practice, publishing articles on the topic.Laura McColl is a practising FCP and supervisor for her team. Her current role is split between the clinical and supervisory aspect of the FCP service. As part of the role all of the FCPs use the AHP Health and Work report to facilitate patients to remain working or to support a short period away from work. Laura will share her experiences, reflections and practical tips for using the tool.
We will hear from two physiotherapists working in NHS primary care who have research and practical experience of using the 'Health and Work report'.
