CPD Connect: Introduction to Joint Injections
The
CPD Connect Team invite you to attend a half-day pilot of an Introduction to Joint
Injections workshop for GPs on Thursday 20 March 2025 at
our offices in Glasgow.
This pilot session will cover the following:
- targeted history and examination of common joints and associated conditions
- review of intra-articular joint injections as a treatment
- practical experience using joint models
This course is aimed at First5 GPs, both beginners and those
with some joint injection experience.
Early booking is essential as our joint injection courses are regularly
over-subscribed.
We will be asking all delegates for their feedback after the session to help shape future delivery.
