The ability to properly manage patient injuries, apply immobilisation or splinting, and fit a range of slings and casts is a technical skill easily mastered with practice and an understanding of basic principles.
Benchmarque Group’s Managing Common Fractures in Primary Care workshop will provide an opportunity to learn modern fracture treatment techniques and create confidence to use the tools, manage common primary care presentations, and reduce the burden of pain and injury for your patients.
Managing common fractures in primary healthcare settings presents significant challenges. The establishment of dedicated Urgent Care Clinics is anticipated to result in an influx of patients with various injuries, further complicating the situation.
General Practitioners (GPs) are well-equipped to handle these challenges, starting from the initial assessment, monitoring, and treatment, all in accordance with the latest evidence-based guidelines. This workshop offers a unique opportunity for face-to-face learning, enabling participants to acquire modern fracture treatment techniques. By attending, you will gain the confidence to apply these methods, effectively handle typical primary care cases, and alleviate pain and injury for your patients.
During this workshop, attendees will engage in hands-on activities, collaborating with peers to practice applying and removing casting products and immobilisation aids through simulated scenarios. This practical approach aims to enhance your skills and empower you to manage fractures and injuries competently in primary healthcare settings.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
One day face-to-face workshop
No formal assessment.

As a general guide, one hour of active learning equates to one hour of CPD. It is the responsibility of the individual student to calculate how many hours of active learning have been completed. The hours of active learning estimated above should act as a guide to CPD hours.
Continuing professional development is the means by which members of the clinical profession maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge, expertise and competence, and develop the personal and professional qualities required throughout their professional lives.
The CPD cycle involves reviewing practice, identifying learning needs, planning and participating in relevant learning activities, and reflecting on the value of those activities.
As a general guide, one hour of active learning equates to one hour of CPD. It is the responsibility of the individual student to calculate how many hours of active learning have been completed. The hours of active learning estimated above should act as a guide to CPD hours.
For all other health professionals completing this program, your continuing professional development (CPD) requirements may vary and it is important to remember that it is your responsibility to maintain and register CPD with your professional body. In many instances, your regulatory authority will recognise hours of learning as stated above.
