13:50 - Kelvin Tse: Rehabilitation and Functional Outcomes Following Severe Zone V Neurovascular and Tendinous Forearm Injury: A Single-Case Prospective Report.

14:00 - Kirsty Doswell: A retrospective audit of flexor tendon repair complications and outcomes by wide-awake local anaesthesia (WALANT) and regional anaesthesia (RA).

14:10 - Kelvin Tse: Digital Hand Therapy Rehabilitation Interventions after Traumatic Hand and Wrist Injuries: A Systematic Review.

14:20 - Anne Alexander: Medium term outcomes following closed injuries to the proximal interphalangeal joint; a cross-sectional survey (patient evaluation) of outcomes.

14:30 - Deborah Miles: How do therapists assessing and treating hands describe movements of the thumb? A survey of practice.

14:40 - Joel O'Sullivan: Development of an optimal blended rehabilitation package for neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS): A online consensus study using nominal group technique.

<meta charset="UTF-8" />This workshop aims to provoke a gentle shift in thinking, from “which terminal nerve” to “what level is the lesion”. There will be a practical element involved so please wear a short sleeve top.

This practical workshop explores innovative ways of combining tape and thermoplastic to create functional splints for athletes without the need for Velcro straps or adhesive tape on the skin. Participants will learn how tape can be integrated into splint design to improve fit, comfort, and ease of use. Demonstrations will include pulley rings, DIP joint splints, trigger splints, PIP joint splints, and selected wrist applications using tape alone, highlighting creative and effective approaches to sports splinting.

The workshop will cover pre and post operative considerations for patients with rheumatoid arthritis including assessment, medication, expectation management and aspects of post -operative care management and aspects of post of management of clinical reasoning. The aim is to increase hand therapist confidence to support the peri-operative period.

This interactive workshop is designed for clinicians who are new to, or wish to develop their skills in, reviewing manuscripts for medical journals. Participants will gain practical guidance on the purpose of peer review, how to critically evaluate a manuscript and provide constructive and balanced feedback
