Welcome Message from Gay Peart Murphy, ISCP President
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2019 Annual Conference in Dun Laoghaire. The
Conference Organising Committee and ISCP staff have created an exciting, expansive programme
this year, spanning many innovative concepts which are currently in operation in our profession.
This is a wonderful showcase of new technology, research and treatments.
Apart from attending the presentations, the ‘Members Forum’ will take place on Saturday
morning at 8.30am. This is a great way of meeting ISCP Board members and expressing your views
of what you think the ISCP is doing well and what opportunities are there to progress our
Organisation. Do come, we want to hear your opinions.
While you are socialising during the coffee and lunch breaks, I would encourage you to visit the
exhibitor’s stands, as their involvement in the conference is an integral part of the event.
I would like to thank all involved in organising this conference, for their hard work and enthusiasm
in producing such an innovative weekend for us, and I hope you all enjoy the experience.

Welcome Message from Dr Áine Ryan, ISCP Director of Professional Development
On behalf of the organising committee, I am honoured and delighted to welcome you to the 36th Irish
Society of Chartered Physiotherapists Annual Conference in the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin.
This historic venue overlooking Dublin Bay, was chosen with the aim of facilitating a rewarding and
successful 2019 conference.
Our programme is extensive and varied, covering a wide variety of topics, which reflect the three key
themes of this year’s annual Conference;
• Actioning Sláinte Care
• Advancing and Evolving Physiotherapy Practice
• Technology’s Influence on Physiotherapy
We are very fortunate to have an exceptional gathering of national and international speakers,
representing a range of clinical interest areas, to present the latest research on their specialist topics. This
year’s programme will include five keynote addresses, thirteen invited speakers and twelve delegate
research presentations, the latter of which will be presented over two days in the parallel sessions. These
sessions will also include seven of the projects shortlisted for the inaugural National Health and Social Care
Profession Awards. There were 187 entries for the awards with eight out of the thirteen finalists involving
Chartered Physiotherapists. These outstanding projects are really excellent examples of effective practice
and innovation and will be presented over the two days.
Please note that there are three breaks each day, which provide valuable opportunities for informal
networking, catching up with colleagues and making new friends. These breaks also provide the
opportunity to review the over 60 poster presentations and keep up to date with current advances in Irish
physiotherapy practice. It is important to mention that each year the ISCP offers up to €10,000 in research
bursaries through the Societies’ Branches and Clinical Interest Groups, to foster and promote research
activity in our members. This conference is a showcase of the excellent research carried out by our
members nationwide.
We have five keynote speakers who are experts and leaders in their respective fields. We have the great pleasure of welcoming Professor Jennifer Freeman, Dr Susan Kent, Professor Emma Stokes, Dr Jennifer Jones and Professor Harriët Wittink, who will address us over the two days of our conference. Their presen-tations will provide the opportunity to learn about and discuss the emerging areas of care for Chartered Physiotherapists both clinically and in national and international health systems.
Many people have kindly dedicated significant time and effort in planning and organising both the detailed
programme and social receptions for our 2019 Annual Conference. Special recognition and thanks go to
the conference chair, Lillian Hayes, and conference committee members: Dr Sheelagh McNeill, Denise
O’Callaghan, Lara Bourton Cassidy, Dr Edwenia O’Malley, Eilis Fitzgerald, Natasha Hinwood, Deirdre
Winters and Dr Jennifer Ryan.
We thank the 2019 reviewers for their thorough and timely reviewing of submitted abstracts. We would
like to thank our main sponsors, AIG Ireland and Glennons Insurance and our associate sponsors, Omega
Financial along with the exhibitors for their generous financial support of this year’s conference, which is
greatly appreciated. Sincere thanks to Máirín Carroll, Professional Development Unit Administrator;
Stephen Swanton, Head of Professional Development, and to Ruaidhri O’Connor, Irish Society of Chartered
7
Physiotherapists CEO, who have provided advice and support to the committee in the run up to this
conference. Lastly, we would like to thank all of the conference presenters for their time and valued
contributions, which are the foundation of this conference.
I hope that the programme of the 2019 Annual Conference will foster discussion and prove informative for
participants with a view to implementing the latest research findings in their clinical practice, resulting in
improved outcomes for patients. Finally, I wish you an enjoyable and enlightening time at this year’s
conference.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Áine Ryan
Director of Professional Development ISCP

Message from the Conference Organising Committee
On behalf of the 2019 ISCP conference committee, I would like to welcome you all to the beautiful Dún
Laoghaire for our 37th annual conference. This year’s conference will run on three core tracks, all of which
are shaping the environment and role that we are working in; “Actioning Sláintecare”, “Advancing &
Evolving Physiotherapy Practice”, and “Technology's Influence on Physiotherapy”.
The “Actioning Sláintecare” strand will explore our critical role as physiotherapists in delivering our
Government’s ten-year plan to transform our health and social care services. We will learn about projects
that fit into this model of care; delivering the right care, in the right place, and at the right time. Our
“Advancing & Evolving Physiotherapy Practice” theme aims to highlight the work that our colleagues have
done in pushing the boundaries of our profession. This should prove to be a fascinating segment on the
ever-increasing impact that physiotherapists can have in healthcare. The “Technology’s Influence on
Physiotherapy” section will draw together stories of how our colleagues have utilized advances in AI and
engineering to help achieve our healthcare goals.
I am very excited about both the calibre of speakers, and the diversity of topics being presented over the
next 2 days. I have no doubt that we will all find this to be a thought-provoking weekend, with plenty of
inspiration to bring back to our own services.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those without whom the conference would not be
possible. We wish to thank our sponsors and exhibitors, our keynote speakers and presenters, and last, but
not least, our session chairs, volunteers and attendees. A special word of thanks to Stephen Swanton, and
my fellow organising committee colleagues, who have all worked tirelessly to ensure that this conference
has come to fruition. It has been my absolute pleasure getting to know, and work with all of you.
Finally, I would like to mention how proud I am, as a member of the Eastern Branch to host this event in
the beautiful Dún Laoghaire. I hope you all get to enjoy some time outside the hotel while here in this
wonderful 200-year-old Port Town. If you’re looking for something to get your adrenaline pumping, why
not go for a dip at the wonderful 40 foot, and make sure to top off the weekend with a tasty 99 from the
famous Teddy’s Ice Cream parlour on the prom… It’s never too cold for an ice-cream!
I hope you all have a wonderful 2 days, and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

Martello Suite Dr Jennifer Jones – A New Era in Prevention Matters: Physiotherapists Making the Difference in Clinical Practice Chair: Dr Orlagh O’Shea
A New Era In Prevention Matters: Physiotherapists making the difference in clinical practice
This presentation will focus on the evolving role of physiotherapists and the important
contributions we make (and can further enhance) to a new era in “Prevention Matters”.
There will be a specific emphasis to cardiovascular disease (CVD) as at present, this is one
of the biggest health-related challenges facing us given increased prevalence of
cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, etc).
Cardiovascular risk-factors are not just associated with cardiovascular disease, but rather
with a long list of chronic diseases that burden our healthcare system, including cancer. The
evidence for whether the investment in prevention is cost-effective will be explored. The
session will include a range of practical examples of specific relevance to physiotherapists,
including pre-rehabilitation, re-configuration of cardiovascular prevention and
rehabilitation services, opportunities in detection and management of key CVD risk factors
together with key skills and interventions required to effectively deliver preventive-
orientated healthcare.

Technology in physiotherapy - takeover or transformation?
Technology is transforming the ability to diagnose, monitor, and provide interventions for
people with a health condition. It also provides a mechanism for health promotion,
potentially helping to prevent disease in healthy individuals. Being part and parcel of health
care delivery, in some shape or form, there is now a wide array of approaches which are
incorporating technology into healthcare services. These include: skype-delivered clinics,
monitoring of symptoms and activity levels via Smartphone Apps and wearable
technologies, and the delivery of interventions via web-based platforms, exergames and
virtual reality. In this talk I will provide an overview of research within this area in neurology,
discussing some of the opportunities and challenges these technologies can potentially
provide for therapists and patients. I will highlight examples based on my own experience
of incorporating web-based interventions into MS practice, and raise some thoughts as to
the potential that technologies have for helping to shape the future of physiotherapy.

A Meta-Search Engine For Science: Combining Physiotherapists’ Most Popular Scientific Information Resources To Fulfil Their Information Needs Evidence-based practice in healthcare is changing: in the past, clinicians’ knowledge was primarily learned through formal education, and recollected in the clinical-encounter. Now, knowledge is being externally sourced; the clinician accesses it with their smartphone and appropriates it at the ‘point-of-care’. The advantage of accessing information in this manner is that: A greater quantity of information is available; This information does not suffer from recall-inaccuracy; This information reflects the latest research evidence; This information can be leveraged to answer the ‘unknowns’ of daily-practice. The essentiality of information in healthcare and the transformation in how it is being synthesised by clinicians and patients alike is evidenced by the fact that 280 million health-related searches are made on Google per day. Presently, clinicians utilise a variety of information databases (such as Wikipedia and the Cochrane library) and search engines (such as Google Scholar and PubMed) to identify scientific information that is relevant to their information-needs. However, the rate at which healthcare information is being produced has meant that clinicians have significant difficulty keeping up with new developments in their field of practice. It is now possible to expedite information retrieval using machine learning and text-mining techniques, which aggregate multiple information resources and provide a synthesized
Session Outlines & Speaker Biographies
24
summary for the clinician, thus fulfilling their ‘information-needs’. ‘SciScanner’ (www.sciscanner.com) is a free, web-based meta-search engine developed by a team of researchers from the Insight Centre for Data Analytics in University College Dublin. SciScanner centralises the most commonly accessed online health-information resources, including Wikipedia, Pubmed and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews on one platform, synthesizing healthcare evidence and presenting it in accordance with the expectations of the ‘digital native’. The proposed session will involve a discussion of novel technology platforms aimed at delivering evidence at the ‘point-of-care’ and a demonstration of the SciScanner system, with a view to garnering feedback about how it be improved, and whether there is scope for collaboration with the ISCP community.
DR CAILBHE DOHERTY, PHD, BSC (PHYSIOTHERAPY) @DohertyCailbhe
Dr Cailbhe Doherty is a physiotherapist and research fellow in the Insight Centre for Data Analytics in University College Dublin. Having completed his doctoral studies in injury biomechanics and rehabilitation, he sought to investigate new ways of turning research into practice beyond the academic journal. He is currently leading a number of projects funded by Enterprise Ireland and the Irish Health Research Board (HRB) that seek to leverage data science and web-based technologies to deliver and implement evidence in healthcare and
sport-science practice. For instance, the ‘SciScanner’ platform (currently available on iOS and Android mobile devices) is a free, meta-search engine that uses systematic search methodologies to identify and parse relevant research for a given ‘information need’, and machine learning and natural language processing techniques to summarise that research such that it is actionable at the point-of-care.

Martello Suite Prof Harriët Wittink- Patient Education and Health Literacy. Chair: Dr Sheelagh McNeill
Patient Education and Health Literacy. Most physiotherapists will agree education is an integral part of all therapy. Unfortunately it is not clear or uniform what we mean by “education” as educational content as well as form differs. Education is routinely delivered through pamphlets, books, videos, back –and neck schools, discussion with health-care providers, or the Internet. The content of education varies across interventions and may include reassurance, advice on physical activity, expected pain and its mechanism, stress-coping skills, workplace ergonomics, self-care strategies, exercises, or general health. Several meta-analyses report to find little or no evidence for effectiveness of education in treating musculoskeletal pain, with the notable possible exception of pain neurophysiology education. Do we need to stop educating? No, but we need to do it differently. A number of studies outside the field of physiotherapy report that written information materials aimed are pitched above the average patient's literacy level. This means that patients probably do not understand the
Session Outlines & Speaker Biographies
25
information that is given them. Adequate health literacy refers to the cognitive and social skills that determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways which promote and maintain good health. Thus, in educating patients we need to consider patients’ health literacy levels. In this session I will attempt to provide concrete tools with which to reach low health literacy patients.
PROF HARRIËT WITTINK PHD MSC PT
Dr Harriët Wittink, is Professor and chair of the Lifestyle and Health research group, University Applied Sciences, Utrecht, The Netherlands. She studied physiotherapy in Utrecht, the Netherlands (BSc).

Rehabilitation Interventions. Is there a return on investment with guided rehabilitation for patient and clinician? Is physiotherapy and rehabilitation a low or high value service? The answer of course is that value is measured in many ways, and both expectations & improved health outcomes can be delivered and managed by having access to different models of interventions. Having the knowledge of interventions will not guarantee delivery and impact on a patient’s quality of life both short and longer term. Successful intervention implementation of rehabilitation requires significant thought process, funding, customisation and planning whereby the environment and pathway created by the clinician matches the need of the patient. The investment of time by the patient will vary based on their need, and therefore the delivered metrics (and hence value) will vary depending on the success of the overall rehabilitation package. Ultimately this triggers the question of cost, who pays and is there return on investment for rehabilitation in an ageing population, where quality of life challenges includes obesity, spinal pain and reduced function. Is there a return on investment? MR JOHN C. MURPHY B PHYSIO (NUI) MSC, GDBS,
John C. Murphy is a Specialist Member of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists. He has worked in private practice since 1998 in Carysfort Clinic, Blackrock, County Dublin.

Reducing recurrence rates & improving health- related quality of life are key outcome targets within his rehabilitation centre. He has a keen interest in the behavioural component of
rehabilitation, and its potential to positively influence chronic conditions including metabolic syndrome. He presented on this topic at both the 2015 and 2016 London Scope Obesity Conference, addressing the economic returns and implementation challenges associated with rehabilitation. Academically, John C graduated from UCD in 1996. He subsequently completed a research MSc in Physiotherapy, and a Graduate Diploma in Business Studies. He is a published lead author in both the American and British Journals of Sports Medicine. 16 other co-authorships since 2010 cross a variety of research fields, including obesity, muscle retention in the over- 65’s, and injury prevention models in sports. He established the GAA Injury Prevention Program in 2006, specifically to begin the process of data collection and analysis, to inform injury prevention strategies. His current research outside of sport relates to weight management and the improvement of joint, muscle, and cardiac function in the over-60 age group.
