– Equip you with a range of ongoing management and exercise plans, giving your patients the best chance of long term symptom relief

This Online Joint Injection Course is aimed at practitioners working with musculoskeletal patients who would like to improve their assessment, diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions, including the role of, theory behind and practical use of corticosteroid joint and tissue injections.
The Joint Injection Course is suitable for all skills levels, although if you haven’t performed any of these skills before then you may prefer to attend our in-person Joint Injection Course instead.

The Joint Injection Course is designed for GPs, Hospital Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Paramedics and other primary care professionals, but is also suitable for any healthcare professional looking to expand the range of treatments they offer.
All Allied Health Professionals and non-independent practitioners should confirm the education requirements with their Insurers & Professional Body prior to the practice of injection therapy. Some professions, such as Physiotherapists, require a post graduate diploma in injection therapy, which this course will not provide.
For Primary Care NHS Practitioners, our Certificate of Completion can be submitted to your local/regional commissioners,  so that you can remain accredited to perform Joint Injections under the Minor Surgery Directly Enhanced Service (DES) Contract.
It may be possible that your local commissioners mandate ‘in-person’ training/updates for Minor Surgery.

Yes! Completion of this 1 Day Joint Injection Course will gain you 6Â CPD Hours / Credits, which will be displayed on your Certificate of Completion.
The Online Joint Injection Course will cover all the practical elements, techniques and guidance required to perform Joint Injections. However, like most CPD Courses (including our in-person courses), it is not a postgraduate qualification or diploma level course, and does not on its own qualify healthcare professionals to practice joint injections independently afterwards.
The training requirements to practice joint injections independently vary both between and within professions; some require higher education (i.e. a diploma), some require CPD training such this course, followed by employer competency based assessment/clinical supervision, and some (generally independent practitioners & Doctors) require our training, supported by local mentorship, reflective practice, audit and appraisal.
If you are not a prescriber, you will also need arrangements for the steroid (+/- local anaesthetic) to be prescribed prior to treatment. This would need to be under a Patient Group Directive or Patient Specific Direction.
We have Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics, and other NMC/HCPC professions attending, either to gain an excellent foundation in Joint Injections, or as a CPD refresher/up-skill for existing practitioners.
Yes! We are always delighted to have Trainees, Medical Students, FYs & STs completing our Online Joint Injection Course. You’ll find it an excellent introduction to these skills.
