Continuing Education for Health Professionals
Dr Alison Thorpe regularly presents continuing education workshops for other health professionals including general practitioners and physiotherapists. Workshops are presented in the Perth metro area, country Western Australia and in other states of Australia.
Workshops have been developed based on her recent PhD studies, knowledge of current evidence through extensive review of the literature, postgraduate teaching experience at Curtin University and her own experience in 30 years of clinical practice. As a Specialist Sports Physiotherapist (as awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapists in 2009) she has consulted exclusively on complex shoulder disorders for the past decade, working with orthopaedic surgeons, sport and exercise medicine physicians, general practitioners, physiotherapists and insurers.
Continuing education workshops can be presented as a 90-minute lecture, a half-day workshop including a practical component or a full day workshop including practical components of assessment, clinical reasoning, management, exercise rehabilitation and relevant case studies.
