| WCPT Experts database |
|
The WCPT Experts Database is being relaunched as the WCPT Database of Volunteers and Experts (WCPT DOVES).
It will be a searchable database of people who have offered to
volunteer their services to help develop the physical therapy profession
internationally through support for WCPT member organisations and other
organisations/institutes with which WCPT collaborates.
Please register if you are willing to support the development of
the profession. It is an opportunity to share your expertise /
experience / interest in physical therapy practice, education, research,
professional issues and global health.

"...
many of us face personal and professional challenges. Understanding
resilience, and how to develop it, can be key. We seek resilience for
ourselves and for patients, clients, students and the teams and
organisations in which we participate and practice", writes Emma Stokes
in her latest blog.
Read how the Nepalese Physiotherapy Association's (NEPTA) knowledge, and
database of local physiotherapy resources, allowed them to mobilise
personnel before requesting international expertise in specialised areas
identified as gaps in service provision. www.wcpt.org/blog/presidents-blog-jan18

| #EndFGM |
6th February was International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
To promote the abandonment of FGM, coordinated and systematic efforts
are needed, and they must engage whole communities and focus on human
rights and gender equality. These efforts should emphasise societal
dialogue and the empowerment of communities to act collectively to end
the practice. They must also address the sexual and reproductive health
needs of women and girls who suffer from its consequences.
Access the United Nations website to find out more: www.un.org/en/events/femalegenitalmutilationday/
