Physiopedia Plus (Plus) offers more than 660 online courses, journal articles and books, anatomy and technique videos, podcasts and live webinars for rehabilitation professionals, and partners with professional organisations all over the world as an accredited CPD provider. This week Plus were delighted to sign an agreement to provide CPD for Rehabilitation Professionals in Uganda in collaboration with the Uganda Association of Physiotherapy, the Uganda Association of Occupational Therapists, the Ugandan Association for Orthopaedic Technologists and the Uganda Speech & Language Therapists Association. This important collaboration in educating rehabilitation professionals is another step in the work being done through the ReLAB-HS activity to contribute to development of the rehabilitation workforce and consequently to improving rehabilitation services in Uganda.
