Higher education institution educators

The physiotherapy education framework defines what great physiotherapy education looks like and supports providers to create innovative, practice-ready programmes.

The CSP has an important role in safeguarding the quality of physiotherapy pre-registration programmes in the UK through its accreditation, by advising what should be taught on pre-registration programmes and assessing the quality.

Practice-based learning is a high priority across the UK and at the CSP. To progress this agenda and increase provision, the CSP is providing resources for clinicians, students and universities. 

The CSP welcomes the development of physiotherapy apprenticeships. They have the potential to provide an employer-led pipeline to develop and grow the registered and unregistered physio workforce.

Drawing on the expertise of University partners, support workers and students we have developed three engaging lesson plans and associated resources to assist you to teach your students about support workers.
