Something for the weekend – a new CPN Digest
This is a bit of a new venture. During the week I come across long-form articles and pieces that are too long or interesting to warrant a brief post on Twitter or Facebook but would be too numerous to blog about. So, following Nursing Clio's Sunday Morning Medicine weekly post, I'm going to trial a weekly post with readings that you might enjoy over the weekend. The posts will all relate in some way to critical physiotherapy, so if you come across material that you think would be good to add to the list, drop me a line (david.nicholls@aut.ac.nz). Here's this week's list: Carol Collins Cole's recollections of working with polio in the 1950s and 60s (link) Think you know what … [Read more...] about Something for the weekend – a new CPN Digest
The first ever Free Critical Physiotherapy Online Course is coming

The course is grounded in practical, everyday physiotherapy challenges, but uses the experience of physiotherapists who have a deep knowledge of theory and philosophy to expand on the ways we currently think about these situations and issues. Is autonomy really a good thing for physiotherapists? … [Read more...] about The first ever Free Critical Physiotherapy Online Course is coming
