| New strategic plan moves WCPT forward |
WCPT’s draft strategic plan for the next four years has received an overwhelmingly positive response. The plan and survey findings were presented at the European Region of WCPT General Meeting in Limassol, Cyprus last week. They will also be discussed at meetings of WCPT’s North America Caribbean and South America regions.
The plan looks ahead to the Confederation developing a stronger global community of physical therapists, building influence and supporting the profession with increased knowledge-sharing.
