Give the Gift of Congress WCPT is inviting donations to a bursary programme to help physical therapists from low and lower middle-income countries attend congress in 2019. Your donation to the bursary programme will benefit not just the individual physical therapist but will also have a lasting legacy in their own country, for the profession and the general public. WCPT is aiming to raise £20,000 for delegates who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend congress. If donations exceed this target, it will mean more physical therapists could attend. Over £2,600 has already been raised through donations from delegates who have registered and from the Incredible Impacts award WCPT received for its range of outstanding legacy activities at the WCPT Congress 2017. How to donate When you complete your online registration for congress, you will have the opportunity to make a donation and add it to your registration fee. Make a direct donation via the campaign on the JustGiving website: www.justgiving.com/campaign/WCPT2019. Whatever the size of your donation, it will help support a physical therapist to attend WCPT Congress 2019. Thank you! You can find out more about the bursary programme: www.wcpt.org/wcpt2019/registration/bursary   Details on how to apply for a bursary will be available shortly.

Language support at Congress Final call for abstract reviewers Although the official language of the congress is English and all sessions must be submitted and presented in English, WCPT recognises that for many delegates English will not be their first language. WCPT will therefore be running some clinical visits in other languages, as well as facilitating interactions in other languages at selected courses, networking sessions and Indaba sessions. If English is not your first language there are more tips on how to get the most out of congress at: www.wcpt.org/wcpt2019/language Do you have experience in reviewing abstracts or journal articles? The Congress Programme Committee is now recruiting potential reviewers of abstracts submitted for presentation at congress. Find out more: www.wcpt.org/wcpt2019/reviewers Closing date for applications: 23rd August 2018 Please note that you will need to be available to review abstracts between 24th September and 12th October 2018.
