Charting the Future

We are currently working on a project, called Charting the Future, to prepare the physiotherapy profession for the future. As part of this we are developing a physiotherapy framework that will set out the knowledge, skills, attributes and values associated with physiotherapy practice at all levels and in all types of roles. The framework will help you to identify learning and development opportunities that match your learning needs and professional development goals. For example, when planning a career move or returning to practice.

Get involved yourself: see more information about Charting the Future on this website.
