| WCPT briefing paper on impact of COVID-19 on entry-level education |
WCPT has published a briefing paper on the immediate impact on the higher education sector and response to delivering physiotherapist entry level education.
The paper has been informed by an online survey, which was one of the
first activities of a global task force on physiotherapist education
launched by WCPT in April 2020. The responses provide insights into how
the programmes have resolved the immediate challenges, how they have
addressed near-term issues and, at the date of the survey responses,
what barriers they anticipate to a return to post-pandemic operations.
The briefing paper is the first in a series planned by WCPT exploring
the response of the global physiotherapy profession to COVID-19. The
next briefing paper will focus on rehabilitation.

| COVIDPhysio Registry |
|
The COVIDPhysio Registry is a register of physiotherapy-related work in progress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Several items have already been added and include projects such as
guidelines, policy statements, campaigns, online continuing professional
development, research, new education delivery and assessment methods,
and the translation of material, providing a hub to support
opportunities for collaboration and to avoid duplication of effort.
We urge all those who are involved in COVID-19 projects to log their
project on the registry as it will be a valuable resource for the global
physiotherapy community.
Entries can be made using the online form and a record of projects and activities will be updated and published frequently.
