Understanding Rehabilitation Content Development Project

Description[edit | edit source]

This project aims to develop content that will facilitate an understanding of rehabilitation, it is aimed at all health professionals but may also be suitable for managers, educators, policy makers and the health seeking public.

We intend to create practical, credible and thought-provoking content that and health care professional will find useful to effectively work within rehabilitation services. Much of this content development has been guided by Rehabilitation 2030: A Call for Action and will guide and form part of the content for the Understanding Rehabilitation MOOC that will take place in September/October 2021.

Anyone is welcome to join in this project. You will be joining people from all over the world in contributing evidence based articles to create an evidence based reference on refugee health and for physiotherapists who work with displaced individuals. In return for your efforts you will receive a certificate of completion to help you evidence your learning through your involvement with this project.
