AP Physio Led MIU
We moved the MIU away from the ED footprint (still on site within Orthopaedics) to reduce the volume of patients in ED. Our advanced practice physio teams from ED/Orth and Spines staffed the unit 6am-midnight, Orth fracture clinic support staff and nurses provided treatments, meds etc to allow ED team to focus on majors. Orth reg worked as part of the team seeing Orth cases only and complex Orth cases were discussed with a Consultant rather than junior. Manipulations were done using penthrox and a c arm by an Orth consultant on the day within this environment.
What is needed to sustain the change?
Unfortunately this is not sustainable as when F2F elective activity resumes Orth support staff will be required here and the footprint will be used, AP physio staff will need to return to their divisions
What is your region?
North West
Did it take much time to shift the AP physio team about to make this happen? I do wonder if MIU will go to ACP/ENP led clinics soon. Have you had to draft SOP or inclusion / Exclusion for these clinics? This is a great format to share experience and see what is going on up and down the country.
