Call for focused symposia opens |
The call for focused symposia is now open. This is your opportunity to be involved in one of the key sessions at congress.
The sessions include high profile speakers, draw large audiences, and
aim to create insightful and engaging learning experiences that
ultimately inform, inspire, involve and empower delegates.
Lasting 1.5 hours, each symposium is organised by a recognised expert in
the field who leads a coherent session with 3-4 speakers working
together and engaging with the audience to draw out the relevance,
challenges, applicability and take-home messages. The submissions should
address the topic from an international/diverse perspective by
including presentations from a range of countries and preferably from
three different WCPT regions.
The submission deadline for focused symposium proposals is 31 January 2020. All submissions will be notified of the outcome on 26 March 2020.
To access the online submission and download the submission guidelines go to: www.wcpt.org/wcpt2021/programme/call-for-fs |

Focused symposia topics |
The
call is open to any topic relevant to the profession. However, the
Congress Programme Committee (CPC) is particularly interested in
proposals that address any of the following areas identified through the
WCPT congress market research survey:
- professional challenges
across all areas, such as diversity and inclusion, quality assurance,
implicit bias, mental health, and wellbeing
- how physical therapy needs
to change to address global health issues, such as the demands of an
ageing population, multi-morbidity and topics identified in the
Rehabilitation 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals
- the unique contribution of physical therapists in the physical activity agenda
- challenging perceptions of pain management across the lifespan and across all fields of practice
- innovative approaches to
address policy and advocacy issues, such as health system funding,
cost-effectiveness and the unique role of physical therapy.
Where applicable to the topic, priority will be given to symposia that include perspectives from low-resource countries.

Focused symposia format |

Post-congress publication |
Each focused symposium consists of:
- an introduction by the chair
- a maximum of three 20-minute or four 15-minute presentations
- 15 minutes of questions and answers with the audience spread across the session
- a 10-minute summary by the chair highlighting the implications, applicability and relevant messages to take away.

Focused
symposia bring together presenters working on the same topic from
diverse parts of the world. The abstract and presentations (subject to
permissions) will be made available on the WCPT website after the
congress.
In addition, chairs will be expected to provide a session report which
draws out the key insights and take-home messages, which will also be
included in the congress proceedings. |

most recent ideas, evidence, methods and areas of controversy in the
literature related to outcomes for people and populations and to moving
the profession forward.
- Inspire: with a clear purpose and applicable outcomes for delegates.
- Connect: related research and innovations, and internationally diverse delegates through active engagement.
- Include: speakers
with international experience and standing in the topic area,
representing a range of global and possibly service user perspectives.
- Impact: practice, education, research and/or policy by making clear the implications arising from the presentations.
