appointments with the University of Iceland and

Mlardalen University, Sweden. Her academic and

clinical career and experiences have spanned the

corners of the globe with invitations to over 30

countries. Because lifestyle-related conditions are

pandemic globally, her research has increasinglyfocused on integrating knowledge of cultural diversity

in promoting health and wellness worldwide. This

includes exploiting non-invasive physical therapy

interventions (healthy lifestyles including health

education and exercise) as first-line interventions to

prevent, reverse as well as manage these chronic

conditions; conditions that are associated with

enormous human suffering and unsustainable societal cost. Professor Dean has over 100

publications and is co-editor and an author of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical

Therapy: Evidence to Practice now in its 5th

served as Cardiovascular and Respiratory Senior Therapist with the Kuwait Dalhousie

Project in Kuwait and has served as a visiting professor with the Hong Kong Polytechnic

University. Dr. Deans clinical practice focuses on people with complex co-morbid

conditions.

KEYNOTEABSTRACT

PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS AND THE WAY FORWARD:

TOWARD HEALTH FOR ALLIN THE 21ST

CENTURY

Elizabeth Dean PhD PT, Professor, Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of

Medicine, University of British Columbia, Canada

Physiotherapy students are the next generation of established health professionals who

are in a unique position to effect much-needed transformation in health care today.

Contemporary health priorities are chronic lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases

for which non pharmacological interventions, i.e., health education and exercise,

constitute best evidence-based practice. This keynote challenges students to establish

whether they have the requisite qualities and attributes to address patient and societal

priorities this century and serve not only as team members in health care, but also as

leaders; basically, do physiotherapy students have the right stuff to lead the wayforward in health care with respect to 21stcentury challenges and priorities.

LOUISE MASON

BIOGRAPHY

Louise Masonis a Specialist Occupational Therapist currently

working with the Edinburgh Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Service and Community Respiratory Team. She has over 20

years experience of working in the NHS, in research, and the

voluntary sector, returning to the NHS 4 years ago to take upthis respiratory post.

Her current role focuses on the development of self

management skills, supporting people in living well alongside

managing a long term lung condition(s), addressing the

impact of peoples symptoms on their health, functional

abilities and routines, and their physical and emotional

wellbeing. She specialises in the management of anxiety andmood issues using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, completing the South of Scotland

PGCert in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in 2008. A cognitive behavioural approach is

now routinely incorporated in her work and utilised to support people in making sense of

their symptoms and their impact, better awareness and understanding positively

influencing each individuals practice of coping behaviours, sense of control and

functional routines.

WORKSHOPDESCRIPTION

Beginning with a brief introduction to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and its use,

Louises workshop will focus on the practical application of CBT in the management of

anxiety in chronic lung conditions. The Caught in a Flap psychoeducational group will

be used as a working example of the CBT model to elucidate CBT strategies and

techniques in practice. Workshop participants will be asked to reflect on the CBT model

- how it can help explore connections between symptoms, emotions, thoughts and

behaviours, and how this discovery can support choices and the development and practice

of coping behaviours and self management skills in the people we routinely see in clinical

practice, supporting both their physical and emotional wellbeing longer term.

PROACTIVE

BIOGRAPHY

ProActive Training (www.proactive-training.co.uk) are one of the UKs leading providers ofintensive therapy-related courses. They provide training in sports massage, sports and kinesiology

taping, strength and conditioning, personal training, acupuncture and other bespoke CPD

opportunities. Their courses are accredited by ITEC and are taught across the UK by 15 tutors, all of

whom are leaders in their fields and have years of experience. ProActive are giving you the

opportunity to attend a taster workshop on Soft Tissue Release Techniques.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Soft tissue release is a manual technique used in stretching soft tissues, primarily muscles, fascia and

tendons with the objective being to increase range of motion and reduce tension in soft tissue

structures.

It is a key technique that all manual therapists should be familiar with as it enables a therapist to

stretch a specific section of a muscle and therefore focus treatment where the patient most needs it.

The session will be very interactive and will give all attendees the chance to practice techniques.

Over the course of the workshop, we will be looking at Passive STR, Active Assisted STR and ActiveSTR.

At the end of the session, all attendees will have a good understanding of STR and where they can

utilise these techniques with patients.


ProActive Training will also be hosting a stall at the conference

and offering a 10% student discountfor those who sign up forone of their popular courses on the day.

ANDREW WINNARD

BIOGRAPHY

The session will be led by Andrew Winnard, MSc

MCSP. Andrew has three degrees in biomedical science

and physiotherapy and qualified as a physiotherapist

three years ago. He has written two theses on space

rehabilitation and worked in crew medical support at the

European Space Agency's Astronaut Centre in Germany.He was recently awarded the Space Medicine

Associations international scholarship to the

"Outstanding Student of Space Medicine in 2013" and is

currently chairing the UK Space Biomedicine

Association while doing a PhD on rehabilitation of spinal stability on Earth and in space.

WORKSHOPDESCRIPTION

SPINAL STABILITY IN ASTRONAUTS BENEFITS TERRESTRIAL PATIENTS!

Human beings live and work in space every single day of the year. Working in the space

environment has many occupational health risks including bone and muscle loss, reduced

blood volume, cardiovascular deconditioning, upward fluid shifts, raised intracranial

pressure, radiation exposure, prolonged isolation and proprioceptive, postural and

vestibular changes. Many of these are physio relevant and while studying them helps

astronauts, it also benefits many people down here on Earth too! There are similar rehab

needs in both astronaut and terrestrial populations such as; sedentary lifestyles, aging,

osteoporosis and prolonged desk sitting postures.

In this workshop, we will briefly explore what happens to human physiology in space andthen focus in on spinal health. We will learn how the spine lengthens in space while the

discs degenerate, the muscles stretch and atrophy and the spinal column becomesunstable. We will then look into how this leads to back pain and prolapsed discs. The

methods used to rehab this in astronauts will be presented (including live biofeedbackusing diagnostic ultrasound) along with insights into currently ongoing research into a

new device being developed to train spinal stability muscles. There will also be somepractical time with opportunity to cover basic assessment and treatment of spinal stability

and chance to practice this.

Outside of the workshop, Andrew would be very happy to be approached for questionson the workshop topic, to talk about how to break into "outside the box" careers or

undertaking PhD studies in physiotherapy.

ELITESPORTING PERFORMANCE

BIOGRAPHY

ESP is the brain child of Charted Physiotherapist, Lewis Mitchell, and highly qualified

Specialist Skills Rugby Coach Mark McKenzie. The two first met in 2008, when Lewis

was recruited to the SRUs U-16 Pathway program as a physiotherapist. With their

backgrounds in professional sport, they both shared a common love for athletic

performance, and realised the impact that they could have in improving performance inScottish Football. The business was formed in 2012, and straight away they began

working with players that had been rejected from professional youth football, either

because of chronic injury or psychological di!culties. They

currently have 10 aspiring professional football players in their

program, and are making large strides towards breaking into

Scottish Football.

PERSONS PERSPECTIVE ON HEALTHCARE PANEL

WORKSHOPDESCRIPTION

This exciting Workshop will evaluate healthcare from the persons perspective. It will

be facilitated by three very inspiring people who will draw from their experiences of

healthcare to help us reflect and evaluate our roles at different points throughout the

patient journey. This workshop will be in a panel format with three people providing very

different angles to the discussion.

We are delighted to welcome Anne Brown who has MS, Nathan Gale who is a

transgender person, and Colin Leslie who is a bilateral lower limb amputee. All three

have achieved a huge amount and their experiences and thoughts will be invaluable to us

as students and clinicians, educating us and helping enhance our physiotherapy skills.

The panel will be chaired by Dr. Jane Culpan, QMU Lecturer in Physical Activity, Health

and Wellbeing, who will guide and foster the discussion. Each of our panelists is a great

speaker, and this Workshop promises to provide a stimulating discussion of which we

hope you will be a part.

Please continue to the following page for the Participants biographies, included as they

become available.

BIOGRAPHIES

ANNEBROWN

What would you know about me if I was referred to

you as a patient?

All you would know is that Im a 57yr old woman

diagnosed with RRMS in 2003 with diagnosis

changed to SPMS in 2013.

Thats it!

What you wont know is the 5yr battle with Neurologists to get that diagnosis after being

told in 1998 that all I had was anxiety.

What you wont know is that due to various circumstances, I didnt have a voice to battle

anyone till I was in my thirties, but once I found that voice my life changed dramatically.

You wont know that my voice has been to Scottish Parliament to help change things for

PWMS.

You wont know that I use the written word to tell my stories on the MS Society website

in my blog Life wi the Broons with illustrations by a volunteer illustrator.

You wont know that Ive earned the nickname Big Mooth from my husband and

daughters as Ive been asked to use my voice speaking publicly.

You wont know that my passion is riding, and I stay as fit as I can on the back of a

horse.

You wont know that one vitally important thing I have learned is that If you dont tell

people, they wont know!

So come and join Big Mooth Broon and meet the person behind the medical notes.

28/28

Although there are still complex ongoing legal negotiations with our landlord, it has become sadly

evident that the BRDA cannot continue day-to-day operations at Sauchieburn Centre. This is due to:

the deteriorating access road

the fact that fewer than a quarter of our regular riders can access the Centre

our income falling so much it no longer covers our costs

concerns that the safety and welfare of staff, riders, drivers and horses could be compromised by

the ever-increasing volume of heavy traffic and machinery in the vicinity of the Centre.

BRDA will have to move from Sauchieburn Centre and all activities here will therefore cease with effect

from 14thAugust 2014.

This is an excerpt from the letter I received to tell me that my riding days at Bannockburn RDA would

soon be over. I wont go into the legal battle just now, or the behaviour of the landlord, just my story. I

have ridden there for the past 5yrs and during this time my core strength, posture, mental wellbeing and

self esteem has dramatically improved.

Bannockburn is where the Regional Qualifiers were held, and the Scottish Championships. I was second

in my class at Scottish Championships last September and hoped to qualify for Nationals this year. There

were no qualifiers this year, the access road was too poor.

200 Bannockburn riders and carriage drivers are losing this facility as well as countless Scottish riders

hoping to compete. Volunteers and staff, many with physical or learning disabilities are losing it too.

We must rebuild this so my daughter and I are fundraising to build a new Centre of Excellence. My

daughter decided to get tattooed with the RDAs slogan Its what you CAN do that counts if she got

500 of sponsorship. Jokingly I quipped If you get 1000 Ill do it myself. Hence the birth of the

TATTOO A GRANNY campaign. Our aim is to help rebuild the RDA for Stirlingshire, and all the

competition riders throughout Scotland.

If we make 1000 I will have my tooshie tattooed with the slogan, not because I want to, but as I have

MS I cant do a marathon, cant climb a mountain, but I CAN do this!!!!! If I get enough money soon

enough Ill be able to show you all on October 25th!!!!
