About Physiopedia Projects[edit | edit source]

Physiopedia is a wiki.  A wiki is a collection of web pages that can be collaboratively edited with no specialist tools and very little technical know-how. As such, Physiopedia is perfectly suited to collaborative group authoring and offers a place for physiotherapists throughout the world to contribute, share, and gain knowledge as part of a formal project.

The feedback that we have gathered from previous projects has been overwhelmingly positive.  Project participants really appreciate the fact that their work does not just get filed away for no-one else to see but is making a positive and lasting contribution to the profession through it's addition to this resource.

Highlighted below are current projects that are taking place within Physiopedia, and also previous projects that have been completed. 

If you would like to organise a project within Physiopedia please don't hesitate to get in touch either by directly by email to [email protected]
