HAPPY WORLD PT DAY!   

The theme for World PT Day 2020 is rehabilitation after COVID-19 and includes infographics and posters aimed at the general public promoting the role of physiotherapy in rehabilitation after COVID-19, and infographics focusing on the delivery of physiotherapy via telehealth. There is also a resource list for facts, research findings, statistics and articles to help you demonstrate the contribution of physiotherapists.  
 
Emma Stokes, World Physiotherapy president, said: "It's great to see so many of our member organisations and individual physiotherapists getting involved in World PT Day and helping raise the profile of the physiotherapy profession.

"There is no better way to show how inclusive our profession is than being able to share the World PT Day materials in a range of languages and to reach people in so many countries. 

"Many of us have been affected by COVID-19, personally and professionally. It's important we take time today to think about our friends and colleagues who have died or are living with the consequences of COVID-19."
