In this second teatimetalk to focus on Prosthetic upper limb interventions, Prosthetist Vincent MacEachan will take us through myoelectric prescription and intervention.

This session will give a brief introduction to some of the issues surrounding the use of simple clinical outcome measures, including some case studies, and introduce the use of the Therapy Outcome Measure (TOM) within orthotics.

This (open mic) session will take a high level look at the materials used in P and O, what can be done to enhance their basic properties and help you achieve better outcomes.
Get involved and give Dave and Rosa some chat, particularly on KAFO!
The talk and subsequent discussions will be based around thermoplastics and the basics of composites

This tea time talk provides an introduction into the principles of evidence-based practice, and the importance of critical appraisal to inform our clinical practice.
We will consider the steps required to answer your clinical question, understand the findings and summarise them for your patients.
The session will include:
• Defining your question
• Identifying your search terms
• Using healthcare databases to find the available research papers
• How to critically appraise the research
• How to act on the evidence and evaluate your clinical practice
This session will be a skills update for many clinicians and will touch on research methodologies and statistics used in health research.

Join us for this session to learn more about note keeping, standards, what to do and what NOT to do when keeping clinical notes and gaining consent.
