- Curriculum
Date: 24 November 2026
Time: 13:00–16:00
Format: Live Interactive Webinar via Zoom
Provider: Belmatt Healthcare Training
Audience: GPs, nurses, advanced practitioners, pharmacists, paramedics, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals working in primary, urgent and unscheduled care.
Course Overview
Refresh and strengthen your minor injuries assessment skills with this focused half-day live webinar for healthcare professionals.
The Minor Injuries Update is designed for clinicians who already encounter minor injuries in practice and want a practical update on three commonly challenging presentations: shoulder injuries, wrist injuries and acute eye injuries.
Using clinical cases, examination principles, red flags and decision-making scenarios, the session will help clinicians develop a more systematic approach to assessment and recognise when an injury can be managed conservatively and when imaging, specialist review or urgent referral is required.
The webinar is live and interactive, allowing delegates to work through cases, discuss clinical reasoning and ask questions throughout the afternoon.
Who Should Attend?
This minor injuries webinar is suitable for healthcare professionals assessing patients in general practice, urgent treatment centres, walk-in centres, minor injury units, emergency care, out-of-hours services and community settings, including GPs, nurses and ANPs/ACPs, paramedics, pharmacists, physiotherapists and other allied health professionals.

Shoulder Examination & Common Shoulder Injuries
This practical clinical update will revisit a structured approach to examining the painful or injured shoulder. Cases can explore rotator cuff injury, dislocation, AC joint injury, fractures and soft-tissue injuries, with particular emphasis on identifying significant trauma and deciding when imaging or onward referral is required.
Wrist Injuries – Case Studies
Wrist trauma can be deceptively difficult to assess. This session uses case-based discussion to develop clinical reasoning around common wrist presentations. Cases will also consider distal radius fractures, soft-tissue injuries and situations where persistent pain should prompt reassessment.
Eye Injuries – Don’t Miss the Red Flags
Acute eye presentations require a systematic assessment because apparently minor trauma can occasionally threaten vision.
Clinical cases will explore presentations such as corneal abrasion, superficial foreign body, chemical exposure and blunt trauma, while highlighting features requiring same-day ophthalmology assessment or emergency referral.
