Altered Haemodynamics Course Certificate

Reflection 

With a lack of haemodynamic education in physiotherapy training it has been a very important course to attend. My knowledge of haemodynamic anatomy and physiology has been improved and I am more aware of the signs and symptoms that vascular conditions may present and how they can mimick musculoskeletal conditions. I now feel confident to incorporate vascular assessment into my consultations which previously I have only irregularly done. This will improve my clinical reasoning and consequently client management. I feel that presenting vascular clients will benefit from more accurate diagnosis and therefore more appropriate subsequent management. This will directly benefit the out-patient department waiting lists and success rates by recognising patients that are inappropriate for physiotherapy treatment and referring them on for more appropriate management.
