Physiopedia Awards Programme
Introduction[edit | edit source]
Physiopedia is the result of voluntary contributions from the global physiotherapy profession. The Physiopedia Awards Programme recognises and features the diligence and efforts of people who have made significant and impactful contributions to Physiopedia and, via Physiopedia, to the global physiotherapy profession as a whole. These awards also serve to showcase the impact these contributions are having on the global physiotherapy profession.
Anyone positively contributing to Physiopedia can nominate a candidate, and in turn, be nominated. Awards are decided by the awards committee and are given each month as well as annually in June.
