Behind the Scenes
Internal Education
Every fortnight we roundtable challenging cases and we run various clinical in-services regularly as well! This month our team discussed:
- Cancer complications (bowel resection & incontinence)
- Progressing from hydrotherapy to land-based exercises
- BPS & Back pain
- Biceps tendon rupture
Focus Areas for October
Each week during Team Meetings we discuss what the biggest areas are which we’re going to focus on and improve as a company. This month we looked at:
- How we respond to suicidal ideation. A situation we’re confronted with more often than we’d like
- Enhancing our individual online presence. Despite all being great EPs “you are who Google says you are”, therefore, we want to make sure that we do all of our EPs justice and have their Linkedin and Website bios up to date and reflecting the experience they all possess.
- Improving our work specific testing in all assessments as well as making sure there are always work related exercises within all supervised sessions
