Well that's it ... all done. A full set of 30 desktop wallpapers for your computer, so each day you can be inspired to think 'otherwise' and maybe translate some of the ideas we've shared last month into your thinking and practice. If you'd like to download the full set of images, there's a link here to a Dropbox folder where you can find them all. Most computers allow you to save these into a folder and cycle through the desktop wallpapers at random if you wish. A huge thank you to everyone who took part in this year's campaign. Don't forget to tell other people about the Network, and follow us on Twitter and Facebook. And to paraphrase the John Cage quote that preceded this … [Read more...] about 30 Days of September: Wrap up
30 Days of September is coming…
Every year since 2014 we've run a month-long campaign where each day for a month we post a themed blog on the site.

Onwards and upwards
Last week's blogpost by Tracy Bury from WCPT brought to an end another hectic 30 Days of September campaign. It's the third such campaign we've run since the Network began in 2014, and they're a lot of fun, but also a lot of hard work. So thank you to all of the members, new and old, who contributed to last month's campaign. We decided this year to focus on ideas that motivated us to be critical-thinking physiotherapists, and hopefully many of you will have been inspired by what you read. One member wrote to me a few days ago to say, "I’m loving 30days. My reading list for the next 12 months is set." We hope you all had something like that kind of reaction. The 30DoS campaign … [Read more...] about Onwards and upwards
Michael Rowe – Quantifying the body – 30 DoS #1
In this post CPN Executive member Michael Rowe describes how Quantifying the body: Monitoring and measuring health in the age of mHealth technologies by Deborah Lupton influenced him. Spanish translation kindly provided by CPN Exec member Alma Viviana Silva. Mobile apps and wearable technologies are increasingly being used in medical and health related contexts and provide us with new and interesting ways of representing and visualising the body.

This paper presents an alternative point of view … [Read more...] about Michael Rowe – Quantifying the body – 30 DoS #1
30 Days of September 2016
Every year since 2014 we've run a month-long blog campaign called 30 Days of September (30DoS). The idea is to post something on the blog each day for the entire month around a particular theme. In 2014 the theme was things that you thought the new CPN organisation ought to do. In 2015 we published 30 different ways for physiotherapists to think differently. In a few days we'll start our 2016 campaign with a project that brings together 30 CPN members from around the world, talking about the ideas and people that have inspired their work. Each day we'll a different CPN member will post a short piece about their inspiration and give you links so that you can follow up on ideas … [Read more...] about 30 Days of September 2016
