UID:145
DESCRIPTION:Pelvic Health Physiotherapy: female urinary\n\ndysfunction – an entry level course\n\n \n\nPart A: 3 October 2024 - online\n\nPart B: 5-6 October 2024 at\n\nCrosshouse, Scotland\n\n \n\n£525 POGP member/affiliate/associate\n\n£600 non-member\n\n \n\n \n\nThis extended programme comprises a pre-course learning package, three day POGP certified workshop and optional post-workshop written assignment. It provides participants with the opportunity to practice both vaginal examination and treatment skills.\n\nThe programme has been developed for Registered Physiotherapists who have not completed an accredited continence course but wish to develop their knowledge and skills in the assessment and management of women with urinary dysfunction. It may be of value to those already working in the speciality who wish to update their knowledge and practical skills. It is not suitable for physiotherapy students but may be useful for a newly-qualified physiotherapist preparing for a rotation in Pelvic Health.\n\nThe workshop content includes: professional issues; relevant anatomy and physiology; the subjective and objective assessment of a woman with urinary dysfunction; theory of various treatment options and further investigations. Practical sessions include vaginal examination and the application of both biofeedback and electrical stimulation.\n\nThe practical sessions include peer physical examination. Female participants may choose to act as a model during the practical sessions. Valid consent procedures are used throughout. A participant choosing to act as a model may opt out of having practical techniques performed on them at any stage.\n\nThe optional post-workshop written assignment aims to demonstrate how the participant has integrated their learning into practice. Participants who submit an assignment will receive tutor feedback on their clinical decision-making and reflection, which is aimed at supporting the participant in developing his/her practice further.   \n\nProgramme objectives:\n\n1. To introduce essential and current evidence-based information on the physiotherapy assessment and management of female urinary dysfunction for physiotherapists working with women with urinary dysfunction.\n\n \n\n2. To provide tutor led practical experience of both vaginal examination and the application of techniques used in the treatment of female urinary dysfunction.\n \n\nLearning outcomes:\n\nOn completion of the programme the participants should be:\n\nAble to adequately assess a woman with urinary dysfunction.\n\nAble to formulate an effective management plan.\n\nAble to apply appropriate treatment modalities.\n\nAware of, and conform to, professional standards in relation to the assessment and management of women with urinary incontinence/pelvic floor dysfunction.\n\n \n\nProgramme requirements:\n\nIn order to complete the extended programme participants must successfully complete all components, which are:\n\nA number of directed study tasks prior to the 3 day workshop, which are provided to participants at the time their place is confirmed)\n\nAttendance at the three day POGP workshop ‘Pelvic Health Physiotherapy: female urinary dysfunction – an entry level course’ including successful completion of the ‘Skills checklist for the pelvic floor and vaginal assessment practical session’.\n\nSubmission of an appropriate reflective, evidence-based piece of work (no more than 3000 words in length) to demonstrate the integration of your learning into practice.\n\n \n\nPre-workshop learning:\n\nParticipants on the ‘Pelvic Health Physiotherapy: female urinary dysfunction – an entry level course’ are advised to complete the directed study tasks prior to attending the workshop. This will ensure that the best use can be made of the tutor time on the course and effect worthwhile learning. This pre-workshop learning should assist in a greater understanding of the pelvic floor, prevalence and causes of urinary incontinence and consent issues.\n\nThe pre-workshop learning takes the form of specific tasks, which will be e-mailed to you when your place on the workshop is confirmed.\n\n \n\nPOGP Workshop programme (3 day attended workshop – subject to variation)\n\nDay 1 – 3 October 2024 : online\n\n08-45    Registration\n\n09-00   Welcome and introduction\n\n09-20   Professional issues: infection control, consent, chaperones and          confidentiality                                                                    \n\n10-30   Break\n\n10-50   Pelvic anatomy and physiology                     \n\n12-00   Lunch\n\n13-00  Urinary & pelvic floor muscle dysfunction – what goes wrong & why?        \n\n14-15   Subjective assessment                                                          \n\n15-15   Break\n\n15-30   Objective assessment                                                            \n\n16-45   Close\n\n \n\nDay 2 – 5 October 2024 : face to face\n\n09-00   Observation of vaginal examination\n\nFollowed by: practical session - vaginal examination with overlapping session: analysis of bladder diaries                                             \n\nBreak will be taken at a suitable time within this session\n\n13-00   Lunch\n\n14-00   Facilitated reflective practice                                                 \n\n14-30   Pelvic floor muscle exercises for urinary dysfunction           \n\n15-30   Theory of biofeedback for urinary dysfunction                      \n\n16-45   Close\n\n \n\nDay 3 – 6 October 2024 : face to face\n\n09-00   Theory of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for urinary dysfunction\n\n10-00   Practical session: Use of NMES and EMG biofeedback in the treatment of urinary dysfunction                                                                                     \n\nBreak will be taken at a suitable time within this session\n\n13-00   Lunch\n\n14-00   Facilitated reflective practice                                                 \n\n14-30   Vaginal devices and medication for urinary dysfunction      \n\n15-15   Further referral, investigations & invasive management                              \n\n15-45   Information re: written submission\n\n16-15   Close\n\n \n\nInformation for the practical session on vaginal assessment.\n\nThe practical sessions include peer physical examination (PPE).\n\nAll participants have the right to opt in or out of the practical sessions. Female participants may choose to act as a model during the practical sessions, however they have the right to decline to be examined by any specific course participants due to embarrassment or other factors. If a participant does not want to examine a course participant they usually have the option of completing the examination on one of the tutors. Another alternative is for course participants to arrange to have their own ‘live’ model present but they must meet any extra costs incurred.\n\nIn the case of a participant declining to complete at least one vaginal examination on a ‘live’ model it will not be possible to complete the skills checklist and the participant will not be able to complete the programme (see ‘programme requirements’ information above).\n\nValid consent procedures are used throughout. A participant choosing to act as a model may opt out of having practical techniques performed on them at any stage.\n\nThe following consent form is used on the course. Please print a blank copy and bring it with you to the workshop. Please do not complete it until asked to do so by the workshop tutors.\n\n \n\nOptional post-workshop written submission:\n\nThis is part of the extended programme and allows the participant to demonstrate that s/he has achieved the learning outcomes and applied their learning into clinical practice. It is a formative assignment, which means that it does not have a pass/fail marking criteria; instead the tutors will provide feedback on the participant’s clinical decision-making and reflection, which they hope will support the participant in developing his/her practice further.   \n\n \n\nParticipant support:\n\nThere will be e-mail support with tutors following the workshop (on request), as well as group support (with permission of the course participants)\n\n \n\nCriteria for written submission:\n\nThe written submission is a reflective clinical reasoning exercise, on which the participant will receive feedback as to whether s/he has:\n\ncompleted an adequate assessment of a woman with urinary incontinence\n\nformulated an effective management plan.\n\napplied appropriate treatment modalities and\n\nconformed to professional standards in relation to the assessment and management of women with urinary incontinence/pelvic floor dysfunction.\n\nThe participant needs to demonstrate this by answering a series of guided questions relating to a woman with urinary dysfunction who has attended for assessment following the workshop. The participant is asked to validate each response with the rationale that supports his/her clinical reasoning and each response needs to be supported by relevant references.\n\nFor those who choose to submit a written assignment, the submission must be made within 3 months of the workshop. As mentioned above, it is a formative assignment, which means that it does not have a pass/fail marking criteria. Further instructions/guidance, including advice on how to request an extension to the submission deadline, will be provided during and after the workshop.\n\n
