South West PCA Educational Session: Interpretation of Blood Results in Primary Care for MSK FCP Physios

The Primary Care Academy (South West) would like to invite you to attend  “Interpretation of Blood Results in Primary Care for MSK FCP Physios” educational session which will be held on:

Wednesday 15^th January 2025 0930-1230

Do you wonder what on earth all the various blood results mean?

Are you worried in case a result means something serious might be going on and you might miss it?

Feedback from colleagues tells us that you are not alone. There is guidance for different professionals about our responsibilities when it comes to requesting and interpreting/filing blood results. All practitioners should clearly work within their own scope of practice, but we hope the following workshop may be just what you need to start feeling more comfortable with what the various results mean for patient care.

In this session we will aim to:

* Increase your confidence in the interpretation of the common blood results

* Develop strategies to distinguish between what is normal, acceptable, and abnormal for a particular patient

* Increase your confidence in identifying when an abnormal result might indicate that a greater degree of urgency is needed

* Benchmark our management of abnormal results against our peers to reassure us that we are on the right track

We would like to encourage participants to be in a quiet environment where they can engage, interact and talk to others with their camera on.

Please note the booking form will close when capacity has been reached.

Please be aware there will be a £35.00 charge for non-attendance without prior notification.
