World Health Professions’ Conference on Regulation

WCPT is a partner in organising the second World Health Professions’ Conference on Regulation (WHPCR) to be held on 18 & 19 February 2010 in Geneva, Switzerland.

In addition to the main programming aimed at all those working in health professional regulation, there will be a specific opportunity to network with physical therapy colleagues from around the world at a profession specific workshop on the second day.

The conference’s objectives are to:

  • debate the future control and direction of health professionals’ regulation within the context of changing scopes’ of practice
  • examine the regulatory & professional issues related to the international migration of health professionals
  • critically evaluate the relationship between health professional education, regulation and standards of practice

To benefit from a lower registration fee you must register before 1 February 2010 at www.whpa.org/whpcr2010/registration.htm.

The conference website has also recently set up an online discussion forum to discuss the themes of the programme. To have your say go to icn.ch/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi.
