Learning Outcomes
- Develop a better understanding of risk factors for serious pathologies and develop a comprehensive subjective history taking strategy to explore serious pathology risk.
- Develop a deeper understanding of serious pathology presentations and how they can mimic musculoskeletal disorders.
- Use this greater knowledge and understanding in the development of MSK pathways to ensure the recognition and management of suspected serious pathology in a timely manner.
- Develop a better understanding of the use of investigations in the diagnosis and management of potential serious pathology, and an understanding of when and which investigations to use.
- Develop their clinical reasoning skills to interpret assessment findings and recognise serious pathology as a differential diagnosis of their assessment
- Develop a greater ability to critically review evolving evidence for the use of red flags, and to integrate this evidence into everyday clinical practice, whilst recognising their limitations in clinical practice.
- Have greater ability to reflect, learn from, and improve their own triage practice through retrospective analysis of critical cases.
- Develop a strategy to manage clinical uncertainty, including a safety netting approach, which can be incorporated into clinical practice and the development of MSK Patient Pathways for onward referral for red flag pathology.
- Have greater insight for MSK governance arrangements
