Background: Patient-centred care is essential for high quality musculoskeletal care, however, few evidence-based opportunities exist that address the barriers to implementation for clinicians.
Objective: To develop and evaluate a simulation-based educational strategy for musculoskeletal physiotherapists to increase knowledge and confidence in patient-centred care.
Methods: Repeated-measures, single-group educational interventional descriptive study. Primary outcome was participant-reported knowledge and confidence in patient-centred care. Customized survey data was collected at baseline (T1) (N = 22), immediately after a face-to-face workshop (T2) (N = 22), and six weeks after the workshop (T3) (N = 17). Secondary outcomes included sustained implementation using the Normalization Measure Development (NoMAD) tool. Repeated-measures ANOVA was used to analyse primary outcomes.
Results: Our participants were typically female (72%), early career (mean 3.3 years post-graduate) and culturally diverse (67%). Significant increases in participant confidence were noted at all time points on all five learning outcomes (repeated measures ANOVA, p < 0.001 to p = 0.009). Participants had very high baseline knowledge and no further increases were found following the intervention (p > 0.05). Normalization Measure Development data indicated high coherence, high cognitive participation, and high reflexive monitoring, with neutral results for collective action.
Conclusion: A novel, psychologically-informed, simulation-based educational strategy is effective in improving musculoskeletal physiotherapist confidence in patient-centred care. Participants reported implementation of skills learnt in the workshop into subsequent clinical practice.

Background: Non-adherence to medication remains a persistent and significant challenge, with profound implications for patient outcomes and the long-term sustainability of healthcare systems. Two decades ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) dedicated its seminal report to adherence to long-term therapies, catalysing notable changes that advanced both research and practice in medication adherence. The aim of this paper was to identify the most important progress made over the last 2 decades in medication adherence management and to initiate a discussion on future objectives, suggesting priority targets for the next 20 years.

Delays in accessing chest drain equipment in the Emergency Department (ED) posed significant risks to patient safety, particularly for those with life-threatening pneumothorax. This quality improvement project (QIP) aimed to reduce these delays by implementing a dedicated chest drain trolley using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) methodology. Surveys and simulations identified key issues, including equipment inaccessibility and staff unfamiliarity, with baseline preparation times exceeding 20 minutes.

Background The South Australian (SA) Chronic Pain Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) Network was established to upskill primary care providers in best practice pain care aligned to a patient-centred, biopsychosocial approach using didactic and case-based virtual mentoring sessions. The aims of this study were to assess: (a) participation, satisfaction (relevance, satisfaction with format and content, perceptions of the mentorship environment), learning (perceived knowledge gain, change in attitudes), competence (self-confidence) and performance (intention to change practice, perceived practice change) of the ECHO Network clinician participants; and (b) self-perceived barriers at the clinical, service and system level to applying the learnings. Methods A mixed methods, participatory evaluation approach was undertaken.
