Programme
We're almost ready to launch the programme for Physiotherapy UK 2019. Soon, you'll be able to book your place alongside other physiotherapy professionals to see the speakers you want to see, covering the subjects you need to know.
Full CSP members who take advantage of our early bird rate, can attend for just £99. Booking opens on this website on 25 February 2019.
Our programme partners supporting the conference this year are the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Occupational Health and Ergonomics (ACPOHE), the Musculoskeletal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (MACP) and the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists (APCP).
The 2019 CSP Founders' Lecture is being delivered by a chartered physiotherapist, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, TEDx speaker and keen promoter of health and wellbeing, Dr Melrose Stewart MBE.
The conference concludes with a joint session from consultant musculoskeletal physiotherapist Dr Neil Langridge and Health Education England's national AHP lead Beverley Harden.
In between, we present specially selected focused symposia which will complement our invited speakers, abstract presenters and poster presentations, and cover the themes outlined below.
This year’s themes:
- Innovation in rehabilitation
- Managing complexity
- Fit for work
- The next generation
Focused symposia
Physiotherapy UK is inviting proposals for focused symposia sessions. The call is open to all aspects of physiotherapy including service delivery, clinical practice, research and education, which address any of the above themes.
The focused symposia will form part of the programme at the CSP’s national scientific conference: Physiotherapy UK 2019, at the ICC Birmingham. They provide a great opportunity to collaborate with colleagues and to share and explore perspectives on a topic.
The deadline for proposals is midday on 18 February 2019.
