Joint Injection Training.
Precision through practice.
Award-winning, hands-on training in safe and effective joint injection techniques — built around small-group teaching, anatomical understanding and repeated supervised practice.
Accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
The one-day programme has been awarded 6.5 CPD points.
Cornerstone has a long-standing track record of delivering practical procedural education. The Joint Injection programme was also previously RCGP accredited, reflecting its established history of nationally recognised clinical training.
Build the judgement and technique behind a safe injection.
This is a highly practical course for healthcare professionals involved in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions.
Delegates learn not only how to perform common joint and soft-tissue injections, but how to identify appropriate pathology, understand relevant anatomy, use reliable bony landmarks and recognise the structures that must be protected.
The techniques are relevant to corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, PRP and other orthobiologic injection practice.
Clinical thinking meets hands-on technique.
We deliberately prioritise practical, transferable skills over a day dominated by lectures.
Decide when to inject
Differentiate common musculoskeletal presentations and consider which conditions may be amenable to injection therapy.
Know your anatomy
Learn the surface and bony landmarks used to guide needle placement, alongside the structures that require particular care.
Practise repeatedly
Rotate through focused stations with direct faculty feedback, allowing you to practise, adjust and refine your technique.
One day. Six anatomical regions.
Small-group rotations maximise hands-on time and allow faculty to focus directly on your technique.
Knee
Patellar pouch, tibiofemoral joint space, iliotibial band bursa and pes anserine bursa.
Shoulder
Subacromial bursa, acromioclavicular joint, glenohumeral joint space and bicipital groove.
Hip
Practical assessment and injection technique for the trochanteric bursa.
Elbow
Medial and lateral epicondyle, radiocapitellar joint and olecranon bursa.
Foot & ankle
Tibiotalar joint, first interphalangeal joint, plantar fascia and Morton's neuroma.
Wrist & hand
Trigger finger, carpal tunnel, first MCP joint, De Quervain's area, radioulnar and carpal joints.
Start, refine or refresh.
The practical format allows teaching to be adapted to the experience of the clinician standing at each station.
Build the foundations.
Develop anatomical understanding, safe technique and confidence in a supportive simulated environment.
Improve your accuracy.
Refine positioning, landmarks and technique while receiving direct feedback from experienced faculty.
Refresh your practice.
Revisit established techniques, update your approach and gain useful CPD even if you already inject regularly.

Clinicians consistently highlight the practical format, approachable faculty and value of revisiting technique.
“The different stations were well organised and ran to time. A very well-organised course with knowledgeable speakers.”
Delegate feedback“Excellent and well-run course. The speakers were informative, approachable and I would highly recommend it to colleagues.”
Delegate feedback“I've been injecting for 20 years and still found this an excellent and genuinely useful update.”
Experienced injector
Expert teaching. Personal guidance.
The six-station format is only possible because of a committed multidisciplinary faculty focused on giving delegates direct, practical feedback.
Teaching is delivered by experienced clinicians including orthopaedic surgeons and extended-scope practitioners, with each station focused on a specific joint or anatomical region.
This is a course you do.
Hands-on practice, anatomical teaching and direct faculty feedback sit at the centre of the day.

Before you book.
Who can attend the course? +
The programme is open to regulated healthcare professionals involved in, or wishing to develop, joint injection practice. This includes GPs, GP trainees, nurses, hospital doctors, paramedics and other appropriately registered clinicians.
Is it suitable for beginners? +
Yes. Beginners can build foundational technique and confidence, while intermediate and experienced practitioners can refine accuracy, refresh established skills and update their practice.
What accreditation does the course have? +
The one-day Joint Injection Course is accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England and has been awarded 6.5 CPD points.
Does attending automatically allow me to practise independently? +
No. The course provides practical CPD rather than a formal qualification conferring independent practice rights. Requirements vary according to professional role, employer, local governance, competency sign-off and mentorship arrangements.
What if I am not a prescriber? +
Non-prescribers will need appropriate local arrangements for medication and anaesthetic use, which may include a PGD or PSD depending on their role and workplace.
How is practical performance assessed? +
The course uses formative practical assessment rather than a simple pass/fail examination. The focus is on supervised practice, feedback and development of safe transferable skills.
Build confidence through practice.
Join our expert faculty for a full day of practical, small-group joint injection training and leave with a clearer understanding of anatomy, technique and clinical decision-making.
