High volumes of patients are transferred every day between health and care settings. However, their information does not always flow smoothly between those settings, resulting in errors, delays, duplication of tests, and not receiving timely and effective treatment. PRSB's eDischarge Summary Standard and work on Transfers of Care enables hospitals to safely transfer accurate clinical information and coded data to GP surgeries, care homes and community services when a patient is discharged, improving the quality and consistency of care. Dr Nilesh Bharakhada, GP and Executive Clinical Director at PRSB, will showcase the opportunity and update on a pilot project which aims to support the digital transfer of structured information from hospital to General Practice on discharge. -

Lyme disease, transmitted via the bite of a tick, can often present as a musculoskeletal issue with joint and muscle pain, nerve pain, fatigue, weakness, pins and needles and numbness. It can also have many overlapping clinical symptoms with inflammatory arthritis, connective tissue disease, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. These later stage symptoms of Lyme disease can occur weeks, months or years after the initial infection, when the disease has become systemic and more complex. Physiotherapists have a key role to play in recognising these signs and symptoms within their patients. This session will discuss when to suspect Lyme disease, the relevant clinical questions to ask and what to do next. A case study will illustrate this learning. Learning outcomes: At the end of the session participants will: - Understand how Lyme disease is transmitted to humans - Recognise the multi-systemic signs and symptoms of Lyme disease - Understand the challenges in differentiating Lyme disease from other MSK conditions and masqueraders. - Recognise the key role that physiotherapists can play in identifying this complex disease.- Know how to access and use up-to-date guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease - Have an awareness of the recognised scientific uncertainties and the need for further research. -
