New in POCUS Journal! 🚨 A fast-track Lung POCUS training program enables rapid accreditation for physiotherapists, overcoming barriers like mentorship and clinical time. pocusjournal.com/article/17854/ #LungPOCUS #ICU #Physiotherapy #RespiratoryTherapy #POCUS #Ultrasound #CriticalCare

POCUS Journal It's great to see this infographic out !! Here's to more physiotherapists acquiring ASUM CAHPU accreditation based on this model of delivery and progressing our cardiorespiratory physiotherapy knowledge and clinical decision-making @ the bedside

Excellent editorial on the nuances of interpreting p value in clinical trial results. A worth read for all clinicians.

Big news for #EBM! Just out in #BMJ, ROBUST-RCT, pristinely developed, innovative, simple, user-friendly instrument for risk of bias assessment in #RCTs far superior to anything before, will become standard outside of Cochrane and in #Cochrane if they let folks use it.

Great work from Diego Poddighe and colleagues! www.science direct.com/science/articl…

What a honour to have such a wonderful Faculty and group of participants at #ERS pulmonary rehabilitation course at Univ Aveiro pushing PR forward! Thanks to all, to the ERS, assemblies 1 & 9 and #lab3r amazing team for all your support!
