From the 1st of July 2021 the Chattered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) will be explicitly excluding a number of spinal injection interventions from cover within the CSP Professional Liability
Posted on Aug 07, 2021Article take from the CSP website:
Members who undertake these injection therapies and rely on CSP insurance cover for their indemnity will need to adjust their practice in order to remain insured.
CSP professional adviser Pip White says: ‘Therapeutic injection therapy has been within the scope of physiotherapy practice since 1997. It typically includes injection to the structures of the peripheral skeleton (arms and legs) and increasingly, with advances in professional capability, may now include injection to the structures of the spinal skeleton. All injection therapies carry risk, but the risks for spinal injection interventions are greater, including the risk of life changing and/or catastrophic outcome. In the light of current regulatory advice and practice guidance, the CSP has taken a pragmatic risk-management decision to be very clear to members that some spinal and other interventions will be explicitly excluded from PLI cover from 1 July this year.’
The explicitly excluded injection therapies will be:
- regional and general anaesthesia
- epidural injections with or without the use of local anaesthetic
- spinal and caudal injections
- spinal and caudal nerve blocks
