Advanced practice is not doctor substitution. It is a level of practice.
The way forward is neither defending traditional boundaries for their own sake nor pursuing role expansion without sufficient scrutiny.

We’re building a new NHS Online hospital to give patients more control over their treatment – moving care beyond hospital walls, reducing waiting times, and giving patients more choice, convenience and control, supported by the latest technology and innovation. 🧵 1/3

AI is already changing MSK practice — but what does that actually mean for clinicians, services and patients?
At this year’s MACP Study Day, our panel discussion will explore:
Digital & AI innovation in MSK practice
With contributions from:
Ash James
Exploring AI in physiotherapy
Chris Efford
What’s here now vs. what’s coming next
Jayne Davies
Implementing AI in MSK services: lessons learned, risks, governance and adoption
This session will move beyond the hype and focus on the real questions for MSK practice:
How is AI already being used?
What opportunities are emerging?
What are the risks?
How do we implement innovation safely and meaningfully?
What does good governance look like?
MSK Practice at a Crossroads feels particularly relevant when considering digital transformation and AI. This is an opportunity to hear from people actively engaging with these changes and to think critically about what comes next for our profession.

Dissertation done ☑️
Will share out findings over the next few months but it’s been a pleasure looking at this over the last year.
Why do smart people sometimes stay silent? And what really drives learning and innovation?
