Free CPD-accredited training for NHS physios

Physiotherapists working in the NHS can take advantage of free CPD-accredited training.

The education team at Algeos are able to provide courses covering areas such as acupuncture, biomechanics and Kinesiology taping.

They can also educate physios in sports taping and strapping, chairside insole adaption, ultrasound, mobilisation and rehabilitation and gait analysis.

Algeos’s Head of Education is Michelle Weddell, an advanced podiatrist, and her team includes a number of other clinical experts including experienced physiotherapists.

The company’s physio and rehab division is a one-stop provider of everything from capital equipment to consumables and has national framework agreements with NHS Supply Chain.

It has also successfully launched a number of its own physio brands including Physioworx and Bodytonix and its products are used by the Ministry of Defence.

This year, Algeos was the Gold Sponsor at the Physiotherapy UK Conference in Birmingham and it has committed to doing the same at the 2015 conference in Liverpool.

Michelle Weddell said: “The free CPD-accredited training courses we provide to physiotherapists working in the NHS are an important part of our overall service.”
