counting down to ER-WCPT2016

by Leave a Comment

With less than a week to go to ER-WCPT2016 conference in Liverpool I've just downloaded the conference app (android version is available here)! Looking at the programme, I can see that there are a number of active CPN members presenting at ER-WCPT2016. On Friday morning, Catherine Sykes is a panellist in the 'Current population health from a European perspective' symposium and Michael Rowe is presenting a paper in the 'Learning in practice' platform presentation session. On Friday afternoon, Jonathan Harvey is a panellist in the Patient Voice symposium, and on Saturday morning Joanne Etherton is part of the 'Researching Physiotherapy Education' Rapid 5 session.

are you a CPN member attending ER-WCPT2016 in Liverpool?

by Leave a Comment

ER-WCPT2016 is just under 1 month away and a couple of CPN members have been in touch to ask whether I know of other members who are going to Liverpool and whether there are plans for an informal CPN get-together at the event. Rather than leaving everything to chance, I’ve set up a ’group’ on the CPN website that members coming to ER-WCPT2016 can join. I hope the online space will allow us to network before we meet in Liverpool and should make organisation of an informal get-together a bit easier! To sign up to the ER-WCPT2016 ’group’ please visit https://www.criticalphysio.net & log in as a member. Once you have logged in, click on the ‘for members’ tab and select ‘groups’ from the … [Read more...] about are you a CPN member attending ER-WCPT2016 in Liverpool?

Can we establish a global paradigm for physiotherapy treatments?

by Leave a Comment

Today's blogpost comes from CPN member Hazel Horobin. Hazel is a Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy at the University of Brighton in the UK. I warmly welcome Jonathon Kruger as the new CEO of the WCPT. What an amazing job he steps into, representing physiotherapy/physical therapy globally. I guess though that one of the issues he will struggle with most is the national variations in professional recognition. This concept is frequently encapsulated as professional ‘autonomy’ and I would like to explore this. Our treatments are frequently thought of as being the consequence of reasoning processes (Norman, 2005). However, sociologists talk about issues of ‘structure’ and ‘agency’ when … [Read more...] about Can we establish a global paradigm for physiotherapy treatments?

Thanks to members who posted feedback on October's edition of the eBulletin (copy available here). Your feedback supported the idea of producing a member eBulletin in principle - published on either a fortnighly or a monthly basis.

I hope that you'll see some of those ideas starting to appear through the eBulletin over the coming months.
