Neuropathic pain is a feature in patients with symptomatic femoral acetabular impingement
Femoral acetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a cause of hip pain thought to be nociceptive, although pain phenotypes e.g., burning, pain attacks, prickling, numbness etc., are reported, mimicking neuropathic pain. Although no lesion to the somatosensory system is identified, neuropathic pain (NeP) may explain why nociceptive-focussed treatments are not always successful. (Source: Physiotherapy)

Student Physiotherapists ’ Perspectives of Peer Learning During Multi-Model Placements
Placements are a key component of physiotherapy courses; however, placement providers struggle to meet rising demands. To enhance placement capacity, multi-models are increasingly employed, where Universities place more than one student with one educator. Student support on placement is important, and studies exploring multi-placement models reveal educators welcome the peer support possible with this placement pattern. This research explored UK physiotherapy students ’ perspectives of peer relationships during placements, for which there is yet little research. (Source: Physiotherapy)

‘Look up from the waiting list and see the bigger picture’: A qualitative analysis of clinical specialist physiotherapist perspectives on low back pain care in Ireland
Healthcare systems are struggling to deliver high-quality low back pain (LBP) care. In 2012 specialist physiotherapist-led musculoskeletal (MSK) triage services were introduced in Irish hospitals to expedite patient care and alleviate pressure on elective orthopaedic/ rheumatology consultant clinics. Specialist physiotherapists have expertise to inform health service improvement and reform, but their perspectives of LBP healthcare delivery have received scant attention. (Source: Physiotherapy)

“I haven't got a clue what policies are in place for this!”: physiotherapy students’ preparedness to deal with self-harm
The prevalence of self-harm and the potential link with suicidal ideation highlights the need to prepare future physiotherapists to deal with the potentially catastrophic outcomes to which a lack of understanding in this area can lead. The aim of this research was to investigate if final year physiotherapy students felt prepared to assess risk of suicide or self-harm following patient disclosure, or showing signs of intention to harm themselves.
