FAQ
Yes.
The book has a section on how to refer your patient which is fairly specific to the UK. We also use UK-centric words such as 'A&E', which you might not be used to. Other than that, this book should be relevant to your practice.
If it isn't, we have a 100%, no-hard-feelings refund policy 👍
Maybe!
We assume the reader has some experience in asking patients about CES and knows their 'red flags'. If you've had an MSK placement and/or taken a special interest in MSK, then the book will probably work for you. If that's not you, then some parts might be a bit advanced.
Note there is a 'basics' chapter at the beginning to help you get up to speed.
Possibly!
The book is written for MSK clinicians at the novice and intermediate stages. The goal of the book is to help people get to the advanced stage, so if you feel like you're already there (when it comes to CES) then it might not be for you.
That said, if you're a specialist clinicians then you'll probably be interested in our approach and it might give you some ideas when it comes to teaching others others. You should also pick up on some facts you haven't heard before. But a lot of the material might be familiar.
When considering your purchase, remember there is a 100% no-hard-feelings refund.
Yes. We recognise that £25 is a lot of money in some parts of the world.
