MODPC600MB Modular Postgraduate: Sports Science (Module Based)
Aim:
To allow experienced practitioners in the field of musculoskeletal practice to extend their scope of practice to include the use of injection therapy.
The teaching takes place at Southend campus over five days: two full weekends and one additional Saturday.
Students will be expected to have an identified mentor in their workplace that is able to support them with the development of the skills required for the soft tissue and joint injection therapy module. The mentor(s) should be a clinician who regularly integrates injection therapy into their patient management. In addition, students should consider how prescribing issues will be managed in the long term, e.g. physiotherapists working in the NHS generally use a Patient Group Direction, (PGD).
Learning outcomes:
This module enables students to meet the following learning outcomes:
* Demonstrate advanced knowledge of general musculoskeletal anatomy
* Demonstrate advance soft tissue assessment and diagnostic skills
* Able to clinically reason and evaluate the need for intervention with injection therapy
* Understand and discuss the contraindications for injections
* Understand and discuss safety techniques involve in injection administration
* Able to carry out safely injection and aspiration procedures in joints and soft tissues

Additional coursework information
The assessment is made up of 3 components.
Injection therapy in the work place needs to be supervised. 10 injections should be assessed and documented to have been performed at an appropriate standard.
There is a reflective portfolio that makes up 50% of the module mark. This is intended to reflect each individual student's experience and should document key issues that have been considered whilst developing injection therapy skills.
A case study outlining the role of injection therapy for one patient makes up 50% of the module mark.
