Physioplus is committed to providing equitable high quality continuing education and professional development for our colleagues around the world. What this means is that membership is discounted for those living in eligible low and middle income countries around the world. The discount is funded through membership fees of those living in high income countries, in essence membership fees make education equitable and available fairly to all physiotherapists around the world.

We are experts in digital learning and we use educational theory to help underpin the foundations of Physioplus. We respect individual approaches to learning and the fact that everyone learns at different speeds and in different ways.

We have numerous bespoke resources and materials for each course available to all members which means you can mix and match learning resource to complement your learning style and make the most of your membership.
Our members also have access to an information-rich collaborative forum which offers a blended style of individual and collaborative learning.
