Our structured curriculum ensures you develop both theoretical understanding and practical competency across all aspects of PRP application for musculoskeletal conditions:

Foundation Knowledge

• Advanced platelet biology and growth factor mechanisms in tissue repair
• Current UK and international research evidence analysis and critical appraisal
• Regulatory considerations specific to UK practice (MHRA, NICE, GMC)
• Integration with conventional treatment pathways and rehabilitation protocols

Patient Management

• Evidence-based patient selection criteria with condition-specific assessment tools
• Contraindications and red flags requiring alternative management approaches
• Informed consent processes with realistic outcome expectation frameworks
• Standardised outcome measurement using validated assessment instruments

Practical Clinical Skills

• Blood collection techniques optimised for platelet yield and quality
• Preparation methods using different UK-available systems with comparative analysis
• Anatomically-specific injection techniques with ultrasound guidance
• Post-procedure protocols and complication management

Implementation Strategies

• Service development frameworks for both NHS and private practice settings
• Cost-effectiveness analysis and business modelling
• Patient information development and clinical documentation
• Quality assurance and audit methodology for ongoing service evaluation

This advanced masterclass is specifically designed for healthcare professionals who:

Primary Audience

• Orthopaedic Consultants and Registrars seeking to expand their non-surgical treatment options
• Sports Medicine Physicians managing athletic injuries and accelerated return to play
• Rheumatologists interested in interventional approaches to joint pathology
• Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioners with existing injection therapy qualifications
• General Practitioners with special interest in musculoskeletal medicine
• Pain Medicine Specialists exploring biological approaches to chronic pain conditions

Essential Prerequisites

• GMC, HCPC, or equivalent professional registration with active clinical practice
• Previous experience with injection therapies or aspiration techniques

• Frameworks for managing patient expectations and preventing false hope
• Transparent communication of evidence limitations and outcome variability
• Ethical marketing guidelines compliant with GMC and ASA requirements

Quality Assurance

• Standardised documentation templates for clinical governance compliance
• Outcome measurement protocols using validated assessment tools
• Audit methodology for continuous service improvement
• Patient feedback collection and analysis frameworks

Regulatory Compliance

• MHRA guidance on blood product handling and administration
• CQC considerations for procedure delivery in various settings
• NICE guidance interpretation and implementation
• Indemnity and insurance considerations for UK practitioners
