It is solely the responsibility of the person viewing or participating in this content to decide how this information is used in a clinical environment. This site does not replace the need for face to face clinical training, university or higher institution training. This site facilitates the dissemination of information from third parties.

Any assessment and treatment tests, techniques or exercises must be utilised within your scope of practice.

The information on this site is provided by Clinical Edge and whilst we endeavour to keep the information up-to-date and correct, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to the Site or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Site for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk.

Eligibility

The prerequisite to become a Clinical Edge member, or enrol on an online or face to face course, is a Bachelor Degree (including a major in Anatomy) in one of the health sciences with an emphasis on manual therapy and orthopaedic and manual musculoskeletal medicine. The following are the only suitable professions:

• Physiotherapy
• Physical therapy
• Chiropractic
• Osteopathy
• Sports Physician
• Medicine
• Podiatrists
• Hand Therapists
• Exercise Physiologists

Please refer to each course's information for further specific guidance on eligible professions.

All course participants and those holding a Clinical Edge membership must ensure they work within their scope of practice. We suggest appropriate professional indemnity insurance is held by all Clinical Edge members and course participants.

All course material and education is not intended to replace clinical reasoning and decision making by healthcare professionals during patient care.

It is the responsibility of the healthcare professional to determine which assessments and treatments are safe and appropriate for each individual in their care. We cannot be held responsible for injury or any other consequences of a healthcare professional choosing to apply information from our courses in patient care.

It is the responsibility of the healthcare professional to ensure they are appropriately qualified, registered and insured to treat patients under their care and adhere to local regulations.

Registering or completing any of our teaching material doesn't qualify an individual to independently assess and treat specific injuries or any other patient group.

Health professionals must limit their practice to those areas in which they have established and maintained their competence. Completing an online course or any of our teaching materials may not be sufficient to establish personal competence in a new area.

Students — due to APA requirements, students are not able to attend face to face courses until studies are completed and registration with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) or the relevant registration board is obtained. Students are able to become Clinical Edge members and attend virtual conferences, webinars and online courses.

Healthcare students (such as Physiotherapists) may complete online courses or our other teaching material, but they are responsible for ensuring they practice with adequate supervision in a way that is safe and appropriate for their level of learning and qualification.
