Welcome to the lunch club
The lunch club is our take on live CPD that you can do during your lunch hour and take into the clinic that afternoon, no matter where you are in the world!
You will have the ability to re-watch each session for as long as you are a member, as well as download the talk. You can even ask questions afterwards, just as though you are watching it live.
How does it work?
The last Friday of the month 12:00 - 13:00 (UK time) is our lunch club, with a different topic covered each month (excluding December when a date will be confirmed in advance each year).
The sessions are held over Zoom. There is a lecture and practical element to each session, meaning you can take what you have learned into your afternoon clinic.
There is also a monthly bonus CPD talk/article added, which could be a previous talk from one of many events and conferences the team have spoken at, a review of a paper, a new bit of research, or a handy clinical tip.
The lunch club membership
Following on from a very successful trial period, as well as feedback from users, we have created the lunch club membership.
Membership can be paid either monthly, or as an annual payment, and will include access to all the lunch club sessions and bonus CPD, as long as your membership remains live.
You will be given access to the Lunch club community, enabling you to connect with other members, ask any questions, view all the lunch clubs, and get the zoom links for future lunch clubs.

Up and coming lunch clubs

An Introduction to gait analysis - 22nd March 2024
The aim is to give an introduction to when to use gait analysis in clinical practice from visual to 3D, and what type of analysis may be best for the patient. We know it is important to use the right tool at the right time.
The aim is to follow the normal structure with the presentation going through the different forms of analysis and the practical demonstration of completing a gait analysis in the clinic.
Heel pain - When it is not plantar fasciitis - 26th April 2024
Plantar fasciitis is very common. However, it is not the only cause of heel pain.
The aim of the session is to give an overview of what else can cause heel pain and the presentation, practical assessment and treatment options.
Heel pain - LLD assessment and implications - 31st May 2024
Leg length discrepancy (LLD) is common, however, how much is too much and when do we need to do anything about it and when is it just a normal finding?
The aim of the session is to give an overview and evidence around LLD, assessment techniques and treatment options.
