CALLING ALL MEMBERS - Could you host an ACPOHE course?
Could you host an ACPOHE course? Do you have any requests for courses? How can we support you and your colleagues? Do you have a course you think could be beneficial to the membership? Let us know and we will build courses or webinars for our members.
We are currently planning the delivery of our courses for 2023 and we are excited to return to offering some of our courses face to face. Following feedback from some of our previous courses, we are on the lookout for venues where we could host some of our courses around the UK. Do you have a suitable space to host 10-20 people?
We're holding ACPOHE's AGM in person this year as part of our Study Day 2022 in Salford. If you’re not attending Study Day you will be able to attend the AGM remotely via Teams.

Come and join ACPOHE in Salford for our first face to face study day since 2019!
The theme of our day is “Bridging The Gaps”. We hope to deliver an interesting day to help participants develop their practice with the four pillars of physiotherapy: Research, Leadership, Clinical and Education.

British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine release Vocational Rehabilitation Guidelines.
The British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine has released their Vocational Rehabilitation Guidelines.
This brief guidance is very timely because the vocational rehabilitation challenges to health care systems including the NHS, have never been greater. The guidance is slanted toward the medical clinician as might be expected from the BSRM, but the principles and guidance are part of the universal language of rehabilitation and the need for a multidisciplinary approach and teamwork are appropriately emphasised.
