Sixteen articles exploring the history of the profession were published on our website from eight different authors from Croatia, Pakistan, Australia, Germany, United Kingdom and Mexico.<\/p>\n
The \u201920+ Seminal Texts of the 20th century\u2019 exhibition was published on our website. A survey of members was taken and the chosen books were identified and displayed by their front or fly covers. Preliminary descriptive text has been been included for each book and more information will be progressively added.<\/p>\n
Our major project \u2018The History of the Word Physiotherapy\u2019 has been completed and we are seeking a publisher for a summary paper. Once published the full project will also be made available on our website. The project unearthed some new information and by exploring the word physiotherapy rather than the profession, provides terrific context to help explain how we have become who we are.<\/p>\n
Our \u2018Class of ?\u2019 project, where we seek to capture a range of student physiotherapy experiences across time and around the world, has begun its data collection phase. Members are invited to contribute their experiences via the questionnaire on our website.<\/p>\n
Feedback was sought from our membership on preferred communication from the Executive. Based on the members advice the Executive\u2019s conclusion was to provide six monthly reports on our website. These reports will also form a historical record of the Association\u2019s activity.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
