We are not trying simply to give you more information.

There is already an enormous amount of MSK knowledge available.

The bigger challenge is knowing what matters, how different information fits together, how much weight to give it, and what to do with it.

Simply MSK focuses on helping clinicians:

• Identify the information that genuinely matters to the clinical decision

• Connect findings across different clinical domains rather than considering them in isolation

• Weigh information proportionately rather than allowing one finding, diagnosis or professional perspective to dominate

• Understand how different professional perspectives can contribute to the wider clinical picture

• Manage uncertainty and competing explanations

• Make decisions they can clearly explain and justify

• Translate clinical reasoning into appropriate action

Our approach is multidisciplinary, but it is not about making every profession think the same way.

Different clinical perspectives are valuable. The aim is to understand how they fit together around the individual patient.

That is why Clinical Reasoning Without Silos uses a repeatable process:

MAP → INTEGRATE → DECIDE

MAP the information that matters.
INTEGRATE it into a coherent clinical picture.
DECIDE what the most justified next step is.

Many frameworks help clinicians consider a broad range of information.

Our focus is on helping clinicians answer the next question:

“What do I actually do with all of that information?”

The aim is not simply to help you collect more clinical facts.

It is to help you develop a more connected, transferable and defensible way of reasoning with them.

Suggested link: Read Why Simply MSK Exists

Simply MSK takes a curated approach to the education we provide and the people we work with.

We are not aiming to build the largest possible library of disconnected MSK content.

Courses, educators and collaborators should contribute to our wider aim of helping clinicians develop better knowledge, clearer clinical reasoning and more justified decision-making.

When considering educational content or collaboration, we look for qualities such as:

• Clinical relevance to contemporary MSK practice

• Evidence-informed teaching

• Appropriate professional knowledge and experience

• Clear, practical and engaging education

• Respect for professional scope and clinical uncertainty

• A willingness to consider different perspectives

• Alignment with multidisciplinary and patient-centred practice

• Education that helps clinicians understand why, not simply memorise what

• Compatibility with the wider Simply MSK educational philosophy

Not every educator needs to think exactly like us.

In fact, different professional perspectives are an important part of Beyond Silos.

What matters is that those perspectives can be explored constructively and contribute to better clinical reasoning rather than reinforcing isolated professional, diagnostic or treatment silos.

Our aim is quality and educational coherence, not simply quantity of content.

Simply MSK focuses heavily on clinical reasoning because knowing clinical information is only part of the challenge.

Clinicians may understand anatomy, pathology, assessment tests, imaging, rehabilitation and treatment options, but still face a more difficult question:

How do I decide which information matters, how it fits together and what I should do next?

That is the gap Clinical Reasoning Without Silos is designed to address.

Our approach helps clinicians move through:

MAP → INTEGRATE → DECIDE

Rather than simply collecting more information, we want clinicians to become better at organising it, weighing it, recognising uncertainty and translating it into justified clinical decisions.

Clinical reasoning therefore sits at the centre of Simply MSK because it connects knowledge to action.

No.

Profession-specific knowledge and expertise remain essential.

Physiotherapists, doctors, radiologists, surgeons, podiatrists, sports therapists, psychologists, strength and conditioning professionals and other clinicians each bring different knowledge, skills and responsibilities to MSK care.

Simply MSK is not trying to remove those differences.

Our aim is to help clinicians understand how different professional perspectives can contribute to the wider clinical picture, while continuing to practise within their own scope of competence and professional responsibilities.

Beyond Silos does not mean everyone should think or work in exactly the same way.

It means recognising when one professional, diagnostic or treatment perspective is not enough to understand the whole patient.

Suggested link: Learn More About Our Mission

Simply MSK may be a good fit if you want to:

• Develop a clearer structure for clinical reasoning

• Better understand which information matters in complex cases

• Move beyond relying on diagnosis, imaging, protocols or treatment techniques in isolation

• Become more confident explaining and justifying your clinical decisions

• Learn from perspectives outside your usual professional or clinical area

• Become more comfortable working with uncertainty

• Connect clinical knowledge more effectively around the individual patient

You do not need to be an expert clinician, and you do not need to complete every Simply MSK programme.

If you are new to our approach, CRWS Free is usually the simplest place to begin.

If you already understand the framework and want to apply it more deeply, CRWS Professional provides structured implementation.

And if you want a deeper, interactive multidisciplinary learning experience, Beyond Silos may be the most appropriate next step.

Can I use Simply MSK or CRWS material in my own teaching?

You are welcome to refer to and discuss ideas you have learned through Simply MSK and Clinical Reasoning Without Silos (CRWS) within your own education, provided the original source is clearly acknowledged.

However, Simply MSK and CRWS course materials remain our intellectual property.

Unless you have received specific permission from Simply MSK, you should not:

• Copy or reproduce substantial parts of our course content

• Upload or distribute our videos, slides, worksheets or downloadable resources

• Recreate Simply MSK teaching materials for your own course

• Present CRWS, MAP → INTEGRATE → DECIDE, or other Simply MSK materials as your own work

• Deliver or advertise your own programme as an official CRWS or Simply MSK course

• Use our materials commercially or provide them to others as part of a paid educational product

• Use Simply MSK branding in a way that suggests endorsement, accreditation or an official partnership

If you are an educator, university or organisation and would like to incorporate CRWS materials more formally into your teaching, we would be happy to discuss this with you.

You can share and build on your learning. Reproducing or delivering Simply MSK intellectual property requires permission.

Recommended link: Contact Simply MSK about educational use →

No.

Completing CRWS Professional gives you a Certificate of Completion as a learner. It does not authorise you to deliver CRWS as an official Simply MSK educator, trainer or facilitator.

You are welcome to apply the principles you have learned in your own clinical practice and discuss your learning with colleagues, provided the original source is acknowledged appropriately.

However, completion of CRWS Professional does not give permission to:

• Deliver or advertise an official CRWS course

• Describe yourself as a CRWS trainer, educator, facilitator or accredited clinician

• Certify other clinicians in CRWS

• Reproduce or distribute Simply MSK course materials without permission

• Use Simply MSK or CRWS branding in a way that suggests an official partnership, endorsement or licence

• Use CRWS intellectual property as the basis of your own commercial training programme without prior agreement

If Simply MSK develops a formal educator, facilitator or licensing pathway in the future, the requirements and permissions associated with that pathway will be clearly explained.

CRWS Professional develops you as a learner. It does not currently provide authorisation to teach CRWS as an official programme.

No.

Completing a Simply MSK course, including CRWS Professional, gives you a Certificate of Completion. It does not currently make you an accredited CRWS clinician or a Simply MSK accredited clinician.

You should therefore not describe yourself as:

• CRWS Accredited

• Simply MSK Accredited

• CRWS Certified Practitioner

• Simply MSK Certified Clinician

• Approved CRWS Clinician

• Official Simply MSK Practitioner

You are welcome to state accurately that you have completed CRWS Professional or another Simply MSK educational programme.

For example:

“Completed Clinical Reasoning Without Silos Professional with Simply MSK.”

Any future accreditation, certification or recognised practitioner pathway would be a separate process with its own eligibility criteria and requirements.

A Certificate of Completion confirms your learning. It does not currently confer professional accreditation.

Absolutely. I would use the following as the website-ready FAQ answers. I have deliberately written them so they fit the current Simply MSK/CRWS position without promising systems, accreditation or licensing arrangements that you have not yet formally created.

Can I reference the CRWS Framework in teaching, academic work or presentations?

Yes.

You are welcome to reference and discuss the Clinical Reasoning Without Silos (CRWS) Framework in teaching, academic work, presentations and professional discussions, provided Simply MSK is clearly acknowledged as the original source.

Referencing the framework does not, however, give permission to reproduce or distribute substantial parts of Simply MSK course materials, slides, videos, worksheets or other protected resources.

You should also avoid presenting CRWS, MAP → INTEGRATE → DECIDE, or associated Simply MSK material as your own original work.

Where a formal citation is required, an appropriate format is:

Simply MSK Ltd. (2026). Clinical Reasoning Without Silos: A Multidisciplinary Decision-Making Framework for MSK Clinicians. Simply MSK.

If you would like to reproduce CRWS materials more extensively within a university programme, workplace course, conference presentation or commercial educational product, please contact Simply MSK first to discuss appropriate permission.

Referencing and discussing CRWS is encouraged. Reproducing or formally delivering Simply MSK intellectual property requires permission.

MSK knowledge continues to evolve, and our educational content should evolve with it.

Simply MSK reviews its educational material as relevant research, clinical guidance and professional practice develop.

Where important new evidence or changes in clinical practice affect what we teach, we aim to update the relevant learning materials accordingly.

We also recognise that no individual educator can be an expert in every aspect of MSK care. Where appropriate, we draw on multidisciplinary expertise and different professional perspectives to help ensure our education reflects the wider clinical picture.

Our aim is not to present clinical knowledge as fixed or certain.

We want clinicians to understand the best available evidence, recognise uncertainty and remain willing to update their reasoning when better information becomes available.

Good clinical reasoning should evolve as the information available to us evolves.

Disagreement is a normal part of clinical practice.

Different clinicians and professions may look at the same patient and place different weight on diagnosis, imaging, symptoms, risk, rehabilitation, psychology, function or other aspects of the presentation.

Clinical Reasoning Without Silos is not designed to make everyone think the same way or eliminate professional disagreement.

Instead, it encourages clinicians to ask:

• What information supports each perspective?

• How reliable and relevant is that information?

• How much weight should we give it?

• What might each perspective be overlooking?

• What uncertainty remains?

• What does all of this mean for the patient and the decision we need to make?

Different professional perspectives can be valuable precisely because they do not always start from the same place.

The aim is not automatic agreement.

The aim is better-informed, more transparent and more defensible clinical decision-making.

Yes.

The clinical reasoning principles taught through CRWS and Beyond Silos are designed to be transferable across different healthcare settings and countries.

The underlying challenges of identifying relevant information, integrating findings, managing uncertainty and making justified clinical decisions are not unique to UK practice.

However, healthcare systems differ.

Professional scope of practice, clinical guidelines, legislation, referral pathways, regulatory requirements and available services may vary considerably between countries.

Clinicians should therefore apply Simply MSK educational principles within the requirements of their own profession, regulator and local healthcare system.

Our reasoning principles are transferable. The way they are applied must respect your local clinical context.

We want Simply MSK education to be as accessible as reasonably possible.

Accessibility features and available formats may vary between individual courses, so we do not want to make assumptions about what every learner may need.

If you have a disability, additional learning need or accessibility requirement that may affect how you access our education, please contact Simply MSK.

Where reasonably possible, we will explore available options or adjustments and clearly explain what support can be provided.

We encourage learners with specific requirements to contact us if they are unsure whether a particular programme will meet their needs.

Recommended link: Contact Simply MSK about accessibility →

I prefer this wording for now because it does not promise captions, transcripts or alternative formats until you know exactly what Ade and Systeme.io can provide.

Yes.

An employer, university, clinic or other organisation can pay for a Simply MSK course on behalf of a clinician.

However, the course account should still be registered to the individual clinician completing the learning.

This is important because course progress, reflections, certificates and other learner-specific records are linked to the registered learner's account.

Course access should therefore not be registered as a shared departmental or organisational login.

If an organisation wants to provide access for several clinicians, we recommend contacting Simply MSK to discuss the most appropriate arrangement.

Yes.

Evidence of your course purchase can be provided for your own records, CPD portfolio or employer.

If you require a specific invoice, receipt or particular organisational details to appear on the documentation, please contact Simply MSK and provide the relevant information.

We recommend doing this as early as possible if your employer requires specific documentation for reimbursement or CPD funding.

Recommended link: Contact Simply MSK →

Yes. We welcome enquiries from healthcare organisations, universities, clinics and teams interested in providing Simply MSK education for multiple clinicians.

Because Simply MSK learning is linked to individual learner accounts, each clinician should normally have their own course access and learning record rather than sharing a single login.

Depending on the programme, number of learners and educational requirements, we can discuss the most appropriate arrangement with your organisation.

This may include access to existing Simply MSK programmes or discussion around wider team education and development.

If you are considering Simply MSK education for a team, university or organisation, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Recommended link: Work With Simply MSK →

Yes, with appropriate acknowledgement and within the permitted use of Simply MSK material.

Educators are welcome to discuss and reference the principles of Clinical Reasoning Without Silos within university teaching, supervision, workplace education and professional development.

For example, you may discuss concepts such as:

MAP → INTEGRATE → DECIDE

and explore how the framework has influenced your own clinical reasoning or educational discussions.

However, formally incorporating CRWS course materials into another educational programme is different from simply referencing the framework.

Permission from Simply MSK is required if you want to:

• Reproduce substantial CRWS teaching materials

• Distribute Simply MSK worksheets, slides or resources

• Adapt CRWS materials into your own educational products

• Deliver CRWS as a formal course or programme

• Provide CRWS certificates or claim to deliver authorised CRWS training

• Use Simply MSK intellectual property commercially

Universities, healthcare organisations and educators interested in using CRWS more formally are welcome to contact Simply MSK to discuss potential educational collaboration or permission.

We encourage clinicians to discuss what they learn. Formal use or reproduction of CRWS educational materials requires agreement with Simply MSK.

Simply MSK educational content is developed by clinicians and educators with relevant experience in musculoskeletal practice, clinical reasoning and healthcare education.

Our aim is not to rely on a single professional perspective.

Where a subject extends beyond the expertise of an individual educator, we recognise the value of seeking input from clinicians and professionals with relevant specialist knowledge.

This multidisciplinary approach is particularly important within Clinical Reasoning Without Silos and Beyond Silos, where understanding different professional perspectives forms part of the learning itself.

When developing educational content, we aim to consider:

• Contemporary research and clinical guidance

• Clinical relevance and practical application

• Different professional perspectives

• Patient-centred decision-making

• Clinical uncertainty and risk

• Professional scope of practice

• How the information contributes to wider clinical reasoning

We do not expect every educator to think exactly the same way.

Different perspectives can strengthen learning when they are explored critically and integrated into the wider clinical picture.

Our aim is to bring together credible expertise while maintaining a coherent Simply MSK approach to clinical reasoning and education.

CRWS Professional is a digital learning programme that provides immediate access to online course content.

If you request immediate access at checkout, you consent to the digital content being supplied straight away and acknowledge that your statutory right to cancel is lost once supply of the digital content begins.

Once access has begun, we do not offer change-of-mind refunds simply because you decide the course is no longer suitable for you or choose not to complete it.

This does not affect your statutory rights if the digital content is faulty, not as described, or does not meet applicable consumer-law requirements.

If you have purchased CRWS Professional but have not accessed the digital course content, and you contact Simply MSK within the applicable 14-day cancellation period, you may be able to cancel your purchase and receive a refund.

Once you request immediate access and the digital content has been supplied, your change-of-mind cancellation right ends.

Once you have requested immediate access and the CRWS Professional digital content has been supplied, we do not provide change-of-mind refunds.

We therefore recommend reviewing the course information before purchasing to make sure CRWS Professional is suitable for you.

Choosing not to complete the course does not create an entitlement to a refund.

You will continue to have access to CRWS Professional in accordance with the access terms of your purchase, but the £20 course fee will not be refunded simply because you decide not to continue.

If you are unable to access CRWS Professional because of a genuine technical problem, please contact Simply MSK support so that we can investigate and help resolve the issue.

A technical problem does not automatically mean a refund will be issued. We will first try to restore or provide the access you purchased.

Your statutory consumer rights are not affected by our refund policy.

If you believe CRWS Professional is materially faulty, inaccessible because of an issue with the content itself, or significantly different from the programme that was advertised, please contact Simply MSK so that we can investigate and provide an appropriate remedy where required.

If a CRWS Professional purchase is validly cancelled and refunded before course access begins, the associated CRWS Professional enrolment and 90-Day Apply & Earn Challenge will also end.

You would therefore not be eligible to earn the £60 Beyond Silos credit through that refunded purchase.

If you believe you have accidentally made a duplicate purchase, please contact Simply MSK support as soon as possible.

We can review the transactions and, where a genuine duplicate payment has occurred, arrange for the duplicate transaction to be corrected.

Any approved refund would normally be returned through the original payment method used to make the purchase.

The clinician's course account and Apply & Earn eligibility would then be updated accordingly.

The 90-Day Apply & Earn Challenge is your opportunity to take Clinical Reasoning Without Silos out of the course and apply it to real clinical practice.

You will apply the CRWS approach to three real clinical cases, complete a reflection for each case, and then complete a Final Implementation Reflection.

Complete all four required reflections within your 90-day challenge window and you will earn £60 credit towards an eligible Beyond Silos booking.

CRWS is not designed to be something you simply watch, understand and then forget.

The purpose of the challenge is to help you practise moving from information to a justified clinical decision using:

MAP → INTEGRATE → DECIDE

By applying the framework repeatedly to real cases, the aim is for the reasoning process to become increasingly natural within your everyday clinical practice.

Your challenge begins on the date you purchase CRWS Professional for £20.

Your purchase date is Day 0 of your 90-day challenge.

No.

Your 90-day period does not begin when you reach Module 10, open the Challenge Hub or submit your first reflection.

It begins from your original CRWS Professional purchase date.

Opening or completing Module 10 does not restart the clock.

No.

We encourage you to start experimenting with the CRWS approach as soon as you understand the framework.

The more often you practise Map → Integrate → Decide, the easier it becomes to recognise which pieces of information genuinely matter to your clinical decisions.

Module 10 provides the formal structure for completing and submitting your three case reflections and Final Implementation Reflection.

There are four required submissions:

1. Clinical Case Reflection 1

2. Clinical Case Reflection 2

3. Clinical Case Reflection 3

4. Final Implementation Reflection

All four must be submitted within your 90-day challenge window to earn your £60 Beyond Silos credit.

No.

The challenge is about your clinical reasoning, not whether you select a particular diagnosis.

Choose real cases that allow you to demonstrate how you gathered relevant information, made sense of it and used it to guide your clinical decision-making.

No.

A useful CRWS reflection does not have to involve a rare diagnosis or an exceptionally complex patient.

A relatively routine clinical presentation can produce an excellent reflection if it makes you think carefully about why particular information mattered and how it influenced your decision.

Yes.

The challenge is designed around three separate real clinical cases so that you have repeated opportunities to apply CRWS across different clinical situations.

Absolutely.

CRWS has deliberately been developed as a multidisciplinary clinical reasoning framework.

The important question is not which professional title you hold. It is whether you are able to apply the reasoning principles to the clinical decisions that sit within your own professional role and scope of practice.

No.

That would defeat the purpose of the framework.

Different cases require different information.

Depending on the patient, important information might come from areas such as:

• mechanism and context

• symptom behaviour

• load tolerance and capacity

• expectations and psychosocial factors

• red flags and risk

• imaging and investigations

Your task is not to force every domain into every case.

Your task is to identify which information genuinely mattered, integrate it and explain how it influenced your decision.

No.

Imaging and investigations should only feature in your reflection when they were genuinely relevant to the case.

CRWS is not an imaging-based framework.

No.

The challenge is not designed as a test of whether your diagnostic label matches ours.

We are much more interested in how you reasoned.

What information did you identify?

What did you think mattered?

How did different pieces of information interact?

What uncertainty remained?

How did that lead to your eventual clinical decision?

That can make an excellent reflection.

Good clinical reasoning is not about pretending every decision was perfect.

Recognising where your reasoning could have been stronger, identifying information you initially underweighted and explaining what you would do differently next time demonstrates meaningful reflection and learning.

No.

The challenge assesses your application and reflection, not whether the patient achieved a particular outcome.

Clinical outcomes are influenced by many factors.

The important thing is being able to explain and critically reflect on the reasoning behind your decisions.

No.

Quality is more important than length.

Use the questions within each reflection to demonstrate your reasoning clearly and thoughtfully.

We want to see that you have genuinely engaged with the CRWS process rather than simply producing large amounts of text.

Yes.

In fact, uncertainty is often where clinical reasoning becomes most valuable.

CRWS is not about eliminating uncertainty. It is about helping you organise information, understand what matters and make a justified decision despite uncertainty.

Yes.

CRWS deliberately moves beyond diagnosis-only reasoning.

If expectations, beliefs, work demands, previous experiences, social context or other factors materially influenced your clinical decision, they should form part of your reasoning.

No.

Please do not include patient names, dates of birth, NHS numbers, addresses or other information that could directly identify an individual.

Your reflection should contain only the clinical information required to explain your reasoning.

All four reflections are submitted through the Module 10 course structure.

You will find the appropriate submission process within each relevant lesson.

The course remains your main Challenge Hub throughout the process.

No.

You do not normally need to email reflections, screenshots or other evidence to Simply MSK.

Your official submissions are completed through the reflection process provided within CRWS Professional.

Email should only be used as a support route if you experience a genuine technical or submission problem.

You need to complete and successfully submit the reflection provided for that stage of the challenge.

Simply viewing the lesson or marking a course lesson as complete does not replace the reflection submission.

Your submitted reflection is what records completion of that stage of the Apply & Earn Challenge.

After completing your three clinical case reflections, the Final Implementation Reflection asks you to step back and consider the bigger picture.

Rather than concentrating on a single patient, you will reflect on what you have learned from applying CRWS across your cases and how the process has influenced your clinical reasoning.

Think of it as moving from:

"How did I reason through this case?"

to:

"What is changing about the way I reason as a clinician?"

We recommend completing them in order:

Case 1 → Case 2 → Case 3 → Final Implementation Reflection

This allows you to build experience with the framework before completing your final reflection on how your reasoning is developing.

Once all three Clinical Case Reflections and your Final Implementation Reflection have been successfully completed within your eligible 90-day period, your Apply & Earn Challenge can be recorded as complete.

Module 10.5 Challenge Complete provides the completion and transition point before you move into the final part of CRWS Professional.

If all three Clinical Case Reflections and your Final Implementation Reflection are submitted within your 90-day challenge window, you earn:

£60 credit towards an eligible Beyond Silos booking.

The credit is then retained on your record until you use it.

You will not qualify for the £60 Apply & Earn credit.

All four required submissions must be completed within the eligible 90-day challenge period.

However, this does not mean that you lose access to CRWS Professional. You will still receive a certificate of completion when achieving 100% of the CRWS Professional course.

No.

The 90-day limit applies to the Apply & Earn Challenge and eligibility for the £60 credit.

It does not mean that your CRWS Professional learning disappears after 90 days.

You can continue your learning, but you would not qualify for the £60 credit.

To earn the credit, all three Clinical Case Reflections and the Final Implementation Reflection must be completed within the 90-day window. Unless there are extenuating circumstances in which case contact us directly.

If a genuine technical problem prevents you from submitting through the course, contact Simply MSK support as soon as possible and explain what has happened.

Do not simply email your reflections instead of using the normal submission process unless you have experienced a genuine technical issue.

Successful completion of the Apply & Earn Challenge within 90 days earns you:

£60 credit towards an eligible Beyond Silos booking.

Note: This will only be visible when logging in under your specific email address/username and then purchasing the Beyond Silos Course.

No.

The £60 is Beyond Silos credit, not a cash refund of your £20 CRWS Professional purchase.

The purpose of Apply & Earn is to reward you for applying CRWS in real clinical practice and give you additional value towards the next stage of your development.

No.

The credit has no cash redemption value.

It is applied towards an eligible Beyond Silos booking.

No.

Once you have successfully earned your £60 Beyond Silos credit, it does not expire.

It will remain on your record until it is redeemed against an eligible Beyond Silos booking.

No.

There is no requirement to book immediately.

If the timing, location, format or available cohort is not right for you, your earned £60 credit remains available for future use.

Your credit remains on your record.

You can also join Beyond Silos Priority Access so that you can hear about future opportunities and tell us which locations or formats would work for you.

That's completely fine.

Completing CRWS Professional does not commit you to booking Beyond Silos immediately.

Your £60 credit remains available until you decide to use it against an eligible Beyond Silos booking.

No.

The credit gives you £60 towards an eligible Beyond Silos booking. It does not reserve a place on a particular cohort.

Places remain subject to availability.

Not quite.

Module 10 completes the Apply & Earn Challenge component of the programme.

You will then continue into Module 11, which completes the CRWS Professional learning journey and helps you consider your next steps.

No.

Completing Module 10 confirms completion of the Apply & Earn Challenge where the relevant requirements have been met.

Your CRWS Professional Certificate of Completion becomes available after you complete Module 11 and reach full CRWS Professional course completion.

On completing CRWS Professional, you will be eligible for a Simply MSK Certificate of Completion for:

Clinical Reasoning Without Silos Professional: From Framework to Practice

The certificate provides evidence of your completion of the CRWS Professional learning programme.

No.

They are separate parts of the CRWS Professional journey.

Your £60 Beyond Silos credit is earned by completing the three Clinical Case Reflections and Final Implementation Reflection within your 90-day Apply & Earn window.

Your Certificate of Completion is released once you complete the full CRWS Professional course, including Module 11.

Do not try to demonstrate that you know everything.

Instead, keep returning to three questions:

MAP
What information is relevant in this case?

INTEGRATE
How does that information fit together, and what does it mean?

DECIDE
Given what I know, what is the most justified decision I can make now?

That is the skill CRWS is trying to develop.

The goal is not simply to complete three reflections.

The goal is to begin changing how you think in clinical practice.

Your 90-day challenge begins on the date you purchase CRWS Professional. Look back for your purchase receipt. You will receive communications during your challenge to help you keep track of your progress and approaching deadline.

Your 90-day Apply & Earn window still begins from your purchase date. It does not begin when you first log in, start the course or reach Module 10.

Yes. Ninety days is the maximum challenge period, not a required waiting period. You can complete and submit your three Clinical Case Reflections and Final Implementation Reflection as soon as you are ready.

Yes. There is no requirement to leave a particular amount of time between submissions. However, the purpose of the challenge is to apply CRWS meaningfully across real clinical encounters rather than simply completing the forms as quickly as possible.

Yes. CRWS Professional includes automated challenge communications designed to help you keep track of your progress and deadline.

Reminder emails are there to support you, but your 90-day challenge period remains based on your original CRWS Professional purchase date. We recommend ensuring that Simply MSK emails are not being filtered into your spam or junk folder.

No. The Apply & Earn Challenge is designed to encourage meaningful application and reflection rather than examination-style assessment. There is no pass mark or diagnostic answer you are expected to reproduce.

The reflections form part of your own structured implementation of CRWS and are not individually marked or routinely returned with personalised feedback.

Once you submit your reflection, you will be taken to a completion page. You will then need to click the page button to return to the Module.

If you realise that you have made a significant error in a submitted reflection, contact Simply MSK support and explain what has happened. You do not need to contact us for minor spelling or wording errors.

No. The challenge is designed around three different real clinical cases so that you have the opportunity to apply the CRWS process across different clinical situations.

No. The Apply & Earn Challenge is specifically designed to help you transfer CRWS into real clinical practice. Your three Clinical Case Reflections should therefore relate to genuine clinical encounters.

Yes. You can continue learning and completing CRWS Professional after your Apply & Earn window has ended. However, submissions completed after your eligible 90-day period will not count towards earning the £60 Beyond Silos credit. You will however, be eligible to receive a completion certificate once you complete 100% of the course.

Yes. Missing the Apply & Earn deadline does not remove your CRWS Professional course access. You can continue through the programme and complete your learning.

Yes. Your certificate and your Apply & Earn credit are separate.

You can still receive your CRWS Professional Certificate of Completion once you meet the full course completion requirements, even if you did not earn the £60 Beyond Silos credit within your 90-day window.

You can still complete Module 10 and the rest of CRWS Professional. However, because the Apply & Earn window begins on your original purchase date, you will no longer be eligible to earn the £60 credit if the 90-day period has already ended.

Once all four required reflections have been successfully recorded within your eligible 90-day window, your £60 Beyond Silos credit will be added to your record and you will receive confirmation.

No. No coupons or discount codes are required. As soon as you complete the 90 Day Apply & Earn Challenge the £60 credit will be held on your record until redeemed.

Your earned credit remains worth £60 towards an eligible Beyond Silos booking. Changes to the future price of a Beyond Silos programme do not change the value of the credit you have earned.

Yes.

You can in theory should you decide to repurchase CRWS Professional under a different email/username. However, you would not be able to apply more than 1 x £60 credit towards the Beyond Silos course.

For example purchasing 3 x CRWS Professional Courses and earning £60 credit on each cannot be combined to £180 for one person towards Beyond Silos. It would have to be placed towards three different individuals purchasing the course.

No. The purpose of Apply & Earn is to help you develop your own clinical reasoning. Your submissions should represent your own clinical experiences, reasoning and reflection.

Should you choose to use someone to complete them for you and attempt to pass the work off as your own, will only serve to reduce the value of the course for yourself. So it's really not in your own interest to do this.

This is similar to question 64. AI tools may be used to help you organise or improve the clarity of your writing, but the clinical reasoning and reflection you submit must be your own. The purpose of the challenge is to develop your thinking, not to generate an answer that you have not personally worked through.

Should you choose to use AI to complete the reflections for you and attempt to pass the work off as your own, will only serve to reduce the value of the course for yourself. So again it's really not in your own interest to do this.

Yes,

However, should you cancel the course within 4 weeks of the course date we would not be able to refund you any cost above the £60 credit. We would be open to moving your booking to another date when a cohort becomes available. Should you not wish to do this you would retain the £60 credit but lose the rest of your booking cost.

Beyond 4 weeks to course date you would be eligible for a full refund and would also retain the £60 credit.

No.

Simply MSK course access is provided to the individual learner who registered or purchased the programme.

Your login details should not be shared with colleagues, friends, students or other members of your organisation.

Individual access is important because course progress, reflections, certificates and, where relevant, Apply & Earn eligibility are linked to the registered learner's account.

If a colleague would also like access, they should enrol separately using their own details.

Organisations, teams or universities interested in providing access for multiple clinicians should contact Simply MSK to discuss the most appropriate option.

One learner, one account, one course record.
