This is MSc module PM104.
The module reviews and develops the clinical reasoning and injection therapy skills needed to practise injection therapy effectively and safely. It is open to experienced physiotherapists and medical practitioners wishing to integrate these skills into the clinical management of patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
This Module is run in 2 Units. Unit 1 is the taught component and Unit 2 is a review, submission of assessed work and practical viva. There is a 6 month inter-unit gap between Units in which you will undertake the required number of supervised injections.

Taught in the familiar SOM format of teaching and practice. Very relaxed with m no pressure to build clinical confidence. Tutors easy to approach, vey informative and calming if the nerves break through. Up to date evidence base keeps the theory contemporary and relevant. Highly recommend this course.

Excellent course as always with SOMM, providing a superb foundation for Injection Therapy Practice. The relaxed environment providing an open forum for discussion and the ability to practice an injection prior to leaving Unit 1 for the big wide world helped enormously in building my confidence. The evidence base is current and this was demonstrated as I attended the update 18 months later and the content had already moved forwards. The expected independent work is extremely practical and relevant to aid your individual learning needs. Great Tutors too. I’ll be back for more updates in the future I am sure. Yes you should do this course!

A great course with lots of content and relevant practice, all evidence based and easy to adapt to your clinical setting.
Great informative tutors giving the guidance and support you need throughout. Lots of different modalities of assessment to suit all learners. I especially liked formulating my portfolio as I could see my learning and clinical skills develop over time.
I would definitely recommend this course.

I really enjoyed this excellent course. The tutors were always supportive and with lots of experience and knowledge they provided a great learning experience. I would highly recommend this course.

Firstly the course gave me a structured and logical way of carrying out injection therapy within the clinical setting, and secondly the underpinning clinical reasoning to integrate it appropriately and effectively into my practice. This was done within a friendly atmosphere generating clinical discussion and learning. If you are thinking of incorporating injection therapy into your clinical practice I would recommend this course to give you both the skills and confidence you need.

I completed my Injection Therapy course in 2005. it was first class- interactive, informative, clinical relevant, with a good balance of lectures and practical components. Tutors are highly experienced, friendly and approachable as you would expect from the SOMM tutors. I feel confident and am proud to be a SOMM injection therapy graduate. I recently attended their Injection Therapy one-day CPD course, and I was so impressed with it. Paul and Bob provided the latest information and it was a really good refresher for any current injection therapist. It’s twelve years since I did my SOMM injection course, and I still feel that was one of the best courses I have ever done! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I attended the Injection therapy course in 2015/2016 and found the course an excellent informative rout into becoming an injection therapist. The balance of taught modules/practical sessions was good and built my confidence to complete the coursework/practical experience necessary for practice. Paul, Bob and David were an excellent in supporting me during the course. I would recommend this course to anyone thinking of integrating this skill into their clinical practice.

I attended unit 1 in November 2017. As with all SOMM teaching, an excellent mix of theory and practical. Really positive to have three tutors all with extensive and different experiences of injections, therefore gaining a wealth of knowledge alongside different clinical approaches. I completed my first supervised injection, successfully, a few days ago, it went well, because I have been well taught and prepared. I would recommend this course to any clinician working in musculoskeletal practice.

I have found the injection therapy module with SOM extremely useful in preparing me to undertake an injection therapy clinic in practice. As a result of the relaxed but detailed teaching, I now feel confident screening patients appropriately and clearly identifying the site of injection, to ensure safe and effective clinical practice. The tutors on the course were all very approachable and were articulate and supportive in assisting all the students in progressing their understanding. I would definitely recommend this module to any clinician thinking of training in injection therapy.

By far the best course I’ve ever attended. I will attend more courses for sure!
Kathryn
I just wanted to say that I approached this course with some trepidation, only to find it completely compelling. The tutors were delightful in manner, some humour always helps. Review of surface anatomy demonstration of techniques were excellent. They made us all feel able to ask and no question was too silly. I feel confident to know move forward with my supervised sessions and do my homework. Thank you also to those who attended great fun.
Jemma
I would recommend this course to anyone considering an injection therapy module. The course was exceptionally well run, with a great mix of practical and theory. The tutors and everyone working with SOMM were very knowledgeable, approachable and thorough in their teaching. Both unit one and two felt both relaxed but also packed full of relevant information. The case study and interim work helped cement the practise and develop independent learning. Unit 2 and the examination process really improved my confidence in the injection process.
Thank you!

If I am honest, I really wasn’t looking forward to doing injection training! Didn’t know what to expect! I am now safely on the other side and can say it was a great learning experience – hard work but the tutors were excellent and the teaching sessions were relaxed with good banter ???? I am looking forward to using injection therapy now in my clinical practice!
