Consultation on ‘Best Practice Standards for Physiotherapists working with Older People during a Disaster, Conflict or Pandemic’
November 4, 2024
IPTOP is inviting comments from any individual or organisation that has an interest in the standards or is working as a physiotherapist in areas of disaster, conflict or pandemic.
In 2024 IPTOP was approached by a member organisation with a request to develop support for Physiotherapists who were working with older people during a disaster, conflict or pandemic.
In response, a short life working group (SLWG) was formed consisting of a member of the IPTOP Executive Committee and representatives of member organisations nominated by the organisations.
IPTOP is now at the stage of consulting more widely on the draft of the ‘Best Practice Standards for Physiotherapists working with Older People during a Disaster, Conflict or Pandemic’. Click on the button to use the form.
The consultation is open during November and will close on 1st December 2024. We are also still looking for examples from practice, especially in a disaster or conflict situation, and really do want your members to provide these – the consultation form allows the response to include an example from practice as well.
The consultation is not only open to our members to make relevant comments.
