ICRC Physiotherapy Standards Content Development Project

Description

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) support Global physical rehabilitation programmes (PRP). These programmes are often undertaken in challenging circumstances around the world. Physiotherapy staff are recruited globally and their expertise, experiences, level of qualifications and training opportunities are often varied and diverse. To ensure a professional standard of consistent practice, valid and reliable outcome and quality measurement is therefore challenging. In order to address this the ICRC have developed a workshop on Physiotherapy standards. The workshop shares tools to enable the implementation of the standards by physiotherapists. In order to make the information more accessible to the global physiotherapy community, in partnership with Physiopedia, this workshop will be adapted to create Physiopedia content.

The multiyear project of PT standards development and implementation were initiated in 2014 by Barbara Rau with support of Prof Liz Holey and Anne Binks and numerous physiotherapy colleagues worldwide. Since 2017 the project is led by Cornelia Barth. This project would have been impossible without the participation of rehabilitation teams and physiotherapy users contributing in numerous ways to its success. The documents on this page are the collective work of many valuable hands and minds.
